How to search public Maven/Ivy repositories for a particular class?

The answer of @khmarbaise is straight and correct, but if you possibly want to search over few additional public Maven repos (like JBoss), not only Maven Central, I recommend using http://grepcode.com.

EDIT: Unfortunately it seems http://grepcode.com, I used to strongly recommend for such a stuff, is dead now. Currently I don't know a better place than https://search.maven.org, already answered by @khmarbaise.


I suggest to try all the search engines. Now I've lost hours thinking of how to upload an artifact, while it turned out to be already present in the repo. This is junit-addons, which is both groupId and artifactId, as can be verified in pom. My attempts:

  1. http://mvnrepository.com - no
  2. http://search.maven.org - yes
  3. http://grepcode.com - no
  4. http://jarfinder.com - yes, but only a direct download, not for maven

I am a maven newbie, so I cannot state that the second link is the best. Although tt was the only helpful in my case.


If you like to search for Classes you should use http://search.maven.org and click on "Advanced search"...This is for Maven Central


https://javalibs.com/ is a good online site to search maven repos.
