A Search Engine For Java Code

A Search Engine For Java Code:
"Can't find that last bit of Java code to complete your project? IBM is developing a search engine it claims will let Java developers find even the briefest code examples in a fraction of the time it now takes. "

Code-named "Prospector , http://snobol.cs.berkeley.edu/prospector-bin/search.py," the engine seeks out code examples that use any or all of J2SE 1.4, Eclipse 3.0, and Eclipse GEF (Graphical Editing Framework) code. IBM is working with the U.C. Berkeley Computer Science Department to fund the venture with a fraction of its $1 billion annual developer budget.

The search engine is currently in beta testing with plans for completion by the end of the year.
