I simply tried to express my experience that probably other developers working on the huge code base of AOO can confirm. OpenGrok is extremely useful, we had very good experience with it and i think we need such a tool. Try http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/ If you have a link to something comparable that we can try please let us know. As far as i have understood viewvc it seems to be also useful but is not comparable with OpenGrok. We used OpenGrok to search quite fast in the source code (version specific) for any kind of source relevant strings (member names, method or type names, ....) I don't wanted to be arrogant or presumptuous but i really don't care here about other projects. I simply would like to achieve that i can work on AOO efficiently as in the past. If other projects later on think that they can benefit from using OpenGrok as well then it is even better.
