Question

I'm looking for a tool like Atlassian's FishEye. The alternatives I've found so far (like StatCVS, ViewCVS or Bonsai) are either lacking in features or are quite a pain to install and maintain. So before staying with one of these tools, I'd like to be sure I did not miss any other good, easy to install, open-source (prefereably java) version control-viewer which supports cvs as scm.

Was it helpful?

Solution

ViewVC is a good open source, web based, repository viewer similar to FishEye. I know you've looked at it, and you're right, it was a hassle to set up, but once setup, it's run without any intervention for almost three years for us.

OTHER TIPS

Another SVN tool which has repository browsing capabilities is Trac. This is nice because as well as a browser for the repository it also has a timeline showing commits. It also does bug tracking.

Warehouse is pretty cool

There is also CVS Monitor, though it hasn't got the nearly the number of features as FishEye.

We use ViewCVS for repository browsing.

If you were using SVN I'd highly recommend Tortoise SVN.
