Merobase is a software
software components from a large variety of sources, including Apache, SourceForge
, and Java.net. It finished its beta phase and went live in March 2007.
A unique feature of merobase compared to other code search engines is its ability to support interface-driven searches – that is, searches based on the abstract
interface that a component offers rather than on the text in its source code. This allows merobase to support searches for binary components (e.g., Java bytecode, CLI assemblies
) and web services, as well as source code, and significantly enhances its precision.
Merobase Plugins are available for
Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer
, as well as for well known IDE's such as Eclipse.
