Get source code
You can see the LimeWire code through your browser without downloading anything extra. Additionally, you can import the code through an IDE (we recommend this method using Eclipse because it's cross-platform and open source) or via the command line with CVS.
Browse source files
You can use your web browser to navigate through the LimeWire project's sub directories to see the source files. Also with Fisheye, you can see when changes were made to code.
