New Maven Respository Search Application
I'd like to announce our new Maven repository search application called
Jarvana that features searching for classes, artifacts, and content. In
addition to project dependency information, class search results include
links to relevant source code and javadocs when available. Class and
artifact search results include links to a 'POM inspector' and the relevant
archive file, which can be drilled into online. Plugin information is
displayed when available. Content searches can be broken down into different
areas (html, java, xml, etc) and include a 'Highlighter' feature similar to
Google's 'Cached' results highlighting.
The main page is available at:
http://www.jarvana.com
The application features a repository browser that has shortcut links and
allows for sorting based on a variety of characteristics such as the number
of folders, directories, and archives within folders.
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse
The browser 'Archive Details' view sums up statistics about all of the files
in all of the archives. These results are also sortable.
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse?d=y&path=&by=&order=
We also just added a 'Digest Generator and Checker' tool that generates MD5
and SHA1 digests for an uploaded file and checks to see if those digests
exist in the repository. This tool can be found here:
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/more
Jarvana is still a work in progress so UI and functionality changes are
quite likely to occur in the near future. Questions, comments, and
constructive criticism are always welcome!

This use case is already met by Nexus (and, I assume, other repository
managers).
For example, go to http://repository.sonatype.org/ and search for a
class name.
Now, the results could be better in that you should be able to drill
into a library and see the fully-qualified class names contained in that
artifact. You should also be able to see various bits of project
metadata (see https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-221 for my
original request for this).
The advantage a MRM has in this situation is the one alluded to in your
next to last sentence (and my original question about Jarvana). It would
be nice if Central had everything, but we all know it doesn't. Using an
indexed repository manager gives you this same search capability across
multiple public repositories as well as your internal repositories.

Eugene,
I want to search for classes from time to time.
The situation is usually something where I have some code and the build
mechanism is either non-existent or unreadable. Sometimes its some
source code I found on a web page somewhere.
But there is, in that code, a reference to some other classes and I
don't know where they come from or which version it might be. I would
like to find the class in question so I know what jar to include when I
build (or so I know how to find the source).
Sometimes its some code that just puts /path-to-somewhere/lib/*.jar on
the classpath and that lib folder has 50 or 100 jars in it. It bothers
my sensibilities to include more than I really need in the classpath so
I want to know which jars it is.
Now, I know that this doesn't always help. If the class in question is
named "Info" or some other generic name and there are lots and lots of
classes around with that name, it nigh onto impossible to find.
It also doesn't help if the jars in that folder I mentioned above are
proprietary.
But there's a use case for you (or a user story if you prefer).
Thanks.

This is all good, but my question was more along the line what for you would
want to search for classes? Especially what for would you want to do that in

I am pretty sure it won't take a much time to provide source browser in
Nexus, the chances are that there might be even an enhancement request for
that already, but yet again, it is unclear why such feature would be useful,

You already can see the sources in m2eclipse using "Navigate / Open Type
from Maven..." action. It is a no brainer to add a javadoc browser for the
artifact, especially if someone would take a minute and enter an enhancement

Have you looked at the Nexus Indexer and the index published for the central

it up with the Nexus repository manager. At very minimum, instead of
creating gigabyte-sized index you can download a few megabytes of prepared

RE: New Maven Respository Search Application
Posted by Deron Eriksson <jo...@codestrategies.com>.
Hello Eugene,
Thank you for the question about Jarvana's purpose.
Jarvana's raison d’être (Jarvana was conceived one August evening in Nice,
France) is that I wanted a web-based application that would let me search
for classes in the maven repo and get their dependency information. I also
wanted to have links to source code and javadocs (if available) and to be
able to view these online. Several web-based maven repo search tools exist,
but Nexus is the only other online tool that I've seen that offers class
searching. Nexus currently doesn't offer viewable souce code and javadoc
links (that I'm aware of), and these are things that I find useful when I am
trying to figure out what a class does. This capability seemed useful, so I
became motivated to share this functionality with the world. Since you
mentioned it, I would love to see source code and javadocs via m2eclipse,
although I don't know how other people feel. I would especially like it if I
could preview source code/javadocs for a class with m2eclipse before
deciding to download a jar and use it in my project.
Every once in a while I have a need to see what's in an archive file. If
there are javadocs, source code, or images in a jar file, I'd prefer to
scroll through such content online if I happen to be in a web browser.
Although Jarvana does this, class and artifact searching is far more useful
to most people than this feature. Jarvana is first and foremost a search
engine.
Jarvana takes a very hyperlinked/web 1.0 approach to searching. It allows
people to search for classes, artifacts, and content. When search results
are returned, it tries to link to relevant information (project dependency,
source code, javadoc, plugin goals, etc). Web browsers have a lot of
limitations, but they are great for hyperlinking.
Jarvana was a chance to learn how to write a Java-based search engine (in
the process we gained a great respect and appreciation for the work that
Doug Cutting and other developers have done on the Lucene project). It
seemed that no one had done a really in-depth indexing of the maven repo, so
we wrote Jarvana. It's kind of like mapping the human genome. Once you map
it, you can do interesting things with it. The Jarvana indexes are huge, but
no one besides the Jarvana web app interacts with these indexes, so
criticism of the large indexes really doesn't make much sense to me. They
are large so we can provide new, intrinsically different search
capabilities. We will probably add new interesting types of searches in the
future if we find the time and motivation to do so.
Many times, I've tried to explain to other developers the benefits of
adopting Maven for project management. But some people seem opposed to
Maven, and maybe sometimes they have situations that justify that
opposition. They are free to adopt other technologies that might be a better
fit for them. Likewise, some people might find Jarvana to be a silly little
search engine, so they never need to use it, but a few others might find it
to be useful. Jarvana isn't the first maven repo search tool and I'm sure it
won't be the last. However, I believe that variety is good when it comes to
software (operating systems, build tools, search engines, etc), and I think
our little search engine is a sign of a growing, healthy maven community. If
nothing else, it's been a great learning experience.
Keep up the great work with m2eclipse. I really think it is opening up maven
to thousands of new developers and making their (and our) lives easier.
Take care,
Deron Eriksson

Deron,
I wonder what is the purpose of such application? Being a Maven user for
several ears I never had a need to browse content of some jar classes in the
Maven repository... not outside my ide anyways.
Also, from what I see, most of the information is already available from
the repository index. Of course index does not include content of the jars
and all the poms, but it still can be used to search trough them and it is
far smaller then 10gb
Tools like m2eclipse allow to search and open Maven poms directly from
remote repositories. More over it allows to open pom editor from Navigate /
Open Maven pom menu, from Maven Indexes view, from SVN//CVS Repositories
view and even from History view. Then you can see the effective pom or
resolved dependency hierarchy and navigate to other poms. If there is some
interest, we could also show content of attached artifacts right in the pom
editor (e.g. the sources or javadocs)

Eugene

Hi Justin,
Yes, currently only central gets indexed, but in the future I'd like to add

Hi Brian,
To offer the search capabilities that Jarvana offers, we need to create
massive new search indexes (over 10GB in size currently) that include
information such as file content, locations of related source code/javadocs,
etc. We are trying to index all the files in the repository, all the files
in the archive files in the repository, and all the content of all the files
in the archive files in the repository. (We actually don't index everything,
but do try to index most things.)
Currently, we update our repository files a couple times a month (nights or
weekends) via rsync. We alternate between different mirrors to try to
minimize any bandwidth costs to any particular host, since bandwidth can get
expensive when dealing with large quantities of data. (Also, I would never
want to spider central, since that would not be nice to do to the web
servers.) In the future, if Jarvana proves to be popular and we move to a
better server, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of also becoming a mirror.
We are hopeful that Jarvana might make the lives of current Java/Maven
developers a little easier to justify its existence. We are also hopeful
that it might, in some small ways, encourage more people to adopt Java and
Maven.
Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.

I'd like to announce our new Maven repository search application called
Jarvana that features searching for classes, artifacts, and content. In
addition to project dependency information, class search results include
links to relevant source code and javadocs when available. Class and
artifact search results include links to a 'POM inspector' and the
relevant archive file, which can be drilled into online. Plugin
information is displayed when available. Content searches can be broken
down into different areas (html, java, xml, etc) and include a
'Highlighter' feature similar to Google's 'Cached' results highlighting.
The main page is available at:
http://www.jarvana.com
The application features a repository browser that has shortcut links
and allows for sorting based on a variety of characteristics such as the
number of folders, directories, and archives within folders.
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse
The browser 'Archive Details' view sums up statistics about all of the
files in all of the archives. These results are also sortable.

We also just added a 'Digest Generator and Checker' tool that generates
MD5 and SHA1 digests for an uploaded file and checks to see if those
digests exist in the repository. This tool can be found here:

Jarvana is still a work in progress so UI and functionality changes are
quite likely to occur in the near future. Questions, comments, and
constructive criticism are always welcome!

Subject: New Maven Respository Search Application
I'd like to announce our new Maven repository search application called
Jarvana that features searching for classes, artifacts, and content. In
addition to project dependency information, class search results include
links to relevant source code and javadocs when available. Class and
artifact search results include links to a 'POM inspector' and the
relevant archive file, which can be drilled into online. Plugin
information is displayed when available. Content searches can be broken
down into different areas (html, java, xml, etc) and include a
'Highlighter' feature similar to Google's 'Cached' results highlighting.
The main page is available at:
http://www.jarvana.com
The application features a repository browser that has shortcut links
and allows for sorting based on a variety of characteristics such as the
number of folders, directories, and archives within folders.
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse
The browser 'Archive Details' view sums up statistics about all of the
files in all of the archives. These results are also sortable.
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse?d=y&path=&by=&order=
We also just added a 'Digest Generator and Checker' tool that generates
MD5 and SHA1 digests for an uploaded file and checks to see if those
digests exist in the repository. This tool can be found here:
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/more
Jarvana is still a work in progress so UI and functionality changes are
quite likely to occur in the near future. Questions, comments, and
constructive criticism are always welcome!
