mavensearch.net doesn't know current versions in many cases, mvnrepository.com is a bit more up to date but doesn't show repositories from where a package can be downloaded, what I would find very useful.

What Maven respository search engines do you use and like?

I suggest using the official one, http://search.maven.org/ . The indices for Maven Central are updated hourly as new artifacts are added to the Central Repository.

There is no perfect one, use several of them.

Some Nexus repositories:

Down or no longer available:

I use most of time http://www.jarvana.com/ or http://mavensearch.net/ and the above Nexus repositories.

  • http://www.mvnbrowser.com does show which repository or repositories contain a given dependency. (not sure about any of the others) – Chris Nava Aug 08 '10 at 04:31

    @Chris http://www.mvnbrowser.com/ indices are totally out of date making it [useless as search engine](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3377020/managing-maven-dependancies-new-versions-and-non-repo-libraries/3377257#3377257). – Pascal Thivent Aug 08 '10 at 10:33

    Update : Jarvana is now definitively down. http://jarvana.blogspot.fr/2013/08/goodbye-jarvana.html – Olivier B. Dec 10 '13 at 15:18
  • I have found http://maven.eea.sk/artifactory/webapp/home.html?3 that allows you to search using checksum. – lopezvit Mar 29 '17 at 10:02
