Submitted by “OpenGrok in that sense is a true enabler for source code that is open source. It lets people easily and quickly find the source code, look at it, understand the history and changes made to the source. It certainly has made my life easy when I am looking for security holes in software.”
it looks great. somebody please setup a linux-kernel browser to replace http://lxr.linux.no, and see how it works.
Cscope works great with the Linux kernel, and you can use KScope if you prefer a GUI.
I didnt know about Lucene and Java. I thought Java would not be as performance beneficial but given that guy’s post….I am impressed. Nice article.
i have been clicking on opengrok for ten minutes now and it wont load.
Thom, please add a link directly to the main subject of the news item. Even Slashdot does this.

huh. it sort of looks like a smalltalk code browser. but with half the functionality and a clunky and annoying web-based interface. i understand the reason in this case to make it web based, but i’ve seen some web-based smalltalk browsers that worked well enough. it’s possible, and without the inefficiency of OpenGrok.
But then again, in C/C++ and a little less so Java, you take what you can get!
i think you did not understand this project at all. what small talk code browser are you talking? can you show a live example on the web?
Understand that this is a new product (V 0.2) and it is spesifically and only designed for web. it is not an offline code browser. if you want off-line code browsing, Eclipse, IDEA or Netbeans is the way to go for Java codes if you like. Sorry to say but Your zealosy is clouding your understanding..
compared to lxr and viewcvs, this is really cool
and much faster. compare time taken to search for ioctl
http://lxr.linux.no/ident?i=ioctl
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/search?defs=ioctl
apart from speed, presentation of results and interface is what i liked. i would love to see this for linux code!
revaaron, can you give pointers to smalltalk what you are quoting, otherwise this is the best tool for online code cross reference I have seen so far.
