Oracle JRE / JDK

1.8

Fisheye requires the Java Runtime (JDK or JRE), version as noted. Pre-release/Early access versions of Java are not supported.

We highly recommend that you use the Oracle JVM (or OpenJDK for Linux only). Other Java implementations have not been tested.

You can download an Oracle Java Runtime.

For the OpenJDK, download and install instructions for Linux flavors are at http://openjdk.java.net/install/.

Please note:

• Once you have installed Java, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. See Installing Fisheye on Windows or Installing Fisheye on Linux and Mac.
• If you are using a 64-bit JVM, please ensure that you've set your max heap size (--Xmx) to a reasonable value, considering the RAM requirements of your system.
• If you intend to run Fisheye as a Windows Service, using the Java Service Wrapper, you should use the Java JDK rather than the JRE so as to take advantage of the -server parameter. If you're using the Windows Installer distribution, which handles the Fisheye service differently, using the Java JRE should suffice.
• You'll need the JDK for the JSP source download.
• For OpenJDK, you'll need the DejaVu font package installed.  Installation instructions can be found here: http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Download.

The Fisheye built-in database, running HSQLDB, is somewhat susceptible to data loss during system crashes. We recommend that you do not use HSQLDB for production systems.

External databases (such as MySQL) are generally more resistant to data loss during a system crash.

See the  Fisheye Database documentation  for further details.

Fisheye to Jira communication requires Jira 6.4.x or later. Communication the other way, from Jira to Fisheye, depends on the Jira Fisheye Plugin.

Note that the Jira Fisheye Plugin is bundled with Jira. If you are using a version of Jira earlier than Jira 6.4 you can upgrade the plugin in Jira to get support for Fisheye.

CPU

1.8GHz or higher, a single core is sufficient. More cores or higher GHz will result in better load-handling ability.

RAM

1GB minimum, 2GB will provide performance "headroom". Your Java heap should be sized at 512MB with the FISHEYE_OPTS environment variable, adjustable up to 1024MB depending on performance.

I/O

Fisheye's input/output is an important element of its overall performance. If Fisheye accesses your repository remotely, make sure that the throughput is maximum and the latency minimum (ideally the servers are located in the same LAN, running at 100Mbps or faster).

Subversion

466 MB in 12151 files

Subversion (server)

Fisheye can communicate with any repository running Subversion 1.1 or later.

Subversion (client)

Fisheye now bundles the SVNkit client, which becomes the default Subversion interface. An alternative is to use the native subversion client, using JavaHL bindings. Please see Subversion Client Setup for more information.

Perforce (client)

Fisheye needs access to the p4 client executable. Due to some problems with earlier versions of the client, we recommend version 2007.3 or later.

CVS

If you are using CVS, Fisheye needs read-access to your CVS repository via the file system. It does not support protocols such as pserver at the moment.
