GrepCode

[Biniman Idugboe]

I am not able to access the grepcode website.
http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

Is anybody else having this experience?

[Stephan van Hulst]

By coincidence, I wanted to check GrepCode just this afternoon, and ran into the same problem.

[Junilu Lacar]

Saw that last week, too. Too bad, that was a really useful site.

[Biniman Idugboe]

Are there any alternative websites?

[Stephan van Hulst]

Not sure. If all else fails you can just open the source files on your PC that the JDK installer comes with.

[Biniman Idugboe]

Where might that be located?  I am using jdk 10.0.1

[Biniman Idugboe]

Okay, I got it.  In my computer C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.1\lib
Codes are in plain text, had to copy it to Notepad++ in order to view them properly.  The grepcode version is still preferable.

There is a source code browser for OpenJDK here as well.

Agreed.  And you can use the search field in the Windows Explorer to find a particular piece of code.  On Unix-like OSes you can use grep!

Thanks to everyone who has responded. Has grepcode.com completely gone off air or is this a temporary technical challenge?

[Knute Snortum]

It's hard to say.  It looks like it has been down for two weeks at least.  That's a long time for a popular site to be down.  Still, if the site were going dark forever, you would think that is would at least put up a "This site is no more" page.  Let's hope if come back up.

[Biniman Idugboe]

Thanks.

There is a built in grep like tool for Windows -- findstr.  It's a cmd line program, and I have zero experience with it.  Thought I'd mention it, in case it applied to this discussion.

searchcode is a free source code and documentation search engine. API documentation, code snippets and open source (free sofware) repositories are indexed and.

I believe the Linux/Unix equivalent is named "string", but that's for extracting strings from an executable. Grepcode was a code snippet repository.

The "503" error indicates that the site server is still online, but the grepcode webapp has crashed. Apparently the site maintainer is indisposed.

Didn't work for me as well. But i found an alternative solution: www.zgrepcode.com/java/openjdk/10.0.2/

Hope it helps.

Welcome to the Ranch, sandy temp!  Nice first post.  Yes, the site look like a good alternative.  The only problem I see is that the Oracle Java only goes to 1.8.0_181.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Welcome to the Ranch That looks good at a 1‑second look. Do you work for that grep code company?

[Biniman Idugboe]

Perhaps this is the replacement for grepcode?  It is nice, but it will be nicer if it has a search or a find facility.  The background is kind of hard on the eyes. Pardon me!

[sandy temp]

Thank You everyone. Yes me and my team are building zgrepcode. We used to use grepcode a lot but it's missing since 2-3 months so we thought of rebuilding it and in a way contribute to the opensource community .
Team is really excited to see such valuable feedback and will be working on the same.

We will be adding more flavors of java, other popular projects very soon and search facility in a week or 2.

Thanks for the eeforts, Mr. Sandy Temp.  I could not find the Stream interface in java.util.stream.

Here it is. What has Stream got to do with the current topic?

[Biniman Idugboe]

Apology. Wrong context.  I retract my previous comment.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Apologies accepted
