Re: How do people search for jars and poms?
There is also www.mvnrepository.com But it will not help you to find which version of a jar it is. The only service, based on chechsums, that allow you to do it is Archiva. But this project isn't yet released. You have to build it yourself. http://maven.apache.org/archiva/ http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva Arnaud Jason Chan-3 wrote: I am using: MVN Registry http://www.mvnregistry.com/ On 10/13/06, Christian Goetze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If this is a stupid question, I apologise in advance...

RE: How do people search for jars and poms?
I've been doing the same thing a lot so here's some steps I recommend: - Inspect the manifest file in the jar. Sometimes you'll find the version number has helpfully been stowed away in there. - Look at the version history for the jar in your repository. Sometimes developers (even yourself!) unwittingly leave helpful comments that include the version number. :-) At the least, you'll probably want to notice the date of check-in to help you with... - Start doing binary comparisons of your local jar versus the publicly released versions. If you got a date from your source control above, you can start with the latest one as of that date and work your way back. Also, in my experience, you should perform this comparison step even if you found an explicit version in one of the steps above. Someone might have made a mistake or you might work with a particularly dense team that sees no problem with modifying released jars and checking them in as if they were the original jars (*grumble grumble*).
