What is Onzen?

Onzen is a graphical front end for the revision control systems CVS, SVN, and HG. It represent the files managed by the RCS in a tree-view with detailed information and offers functions to e. g. update, commit, add, remove, rename, revert, diff, view files.

Onzen has a long history and I developed it as a helping tool for my daily work. The first (not published) version was written in TclTK and I used it already for years. Now I recreated Onzen as a Java SWT program and published it as OpenSource.

Features

• update, commit, add, remove, rename revert files managed in a RCS

- Concurrent Version System (CVS)

- Apache Subversion (SVN)

- Mercurial (HG)

- planned: also Git support

• can show diff in two-columns, view file revisions tree, view files content

• can show changes of lines (annotations)

• create patches, mail patches for review, store patches in internal database

• support review board server, can send review mails

• can use internal/external diff commands

• can use internal/external mail command

• edit files with external program; select external program by MimeTypes

• fast even with a slow remote connection: many operations are done asynchronous in background

• multiple repositories in separated tabs

• multiple repository lists

• keep history with commit messages in database; broadcast commit messages to other Onzen instances via UDP message

• written in Java with SWT: available for Linux, Solaris, MacOSX, Windows

Requirements

• Linux, Solaris, MacOS, or Windows system with CVS, SVN, and/or HG installed

• Java Runtime environment 1.6 or newer

• external tools for edit files, e. g. a text editor (optional)
