We’ve rolled out an update to Maven Central Search that makes the tool easier to use and fixes a handful of minor bugs.
Enhancements
-
Access the browser bar by selecting the edit icon
Browse quickly to artifact directories when you know the path. The new browser bar text box lets you browse the repository in Central Search in almost the same way you browse http://repo1.maven.org with your web browser. Just type a path into the browser bar text box and you’ll be taken right to the artifact directory.Accessing the browser bar is easy –select the edit icon (which looks like a pen) next to the repository path in the Browse view and the repository path will be replaced with the browser bartext box.
Type your search into the browser bar and select OK
- Classname search is more flexible. You can paste in a path to a source file (e.g., org/apache/coyote/ajp/AjpAprProcessor.java) or to a class file (e.g, org/apache/coyote/ajp/AjpAprProcessor.class), and Central Search will construct a fully-qualified classname search from it.
- Multi-page results are easier to browse. When search results run longer than your browser window, you can navigate from page to page without scrolling back to the top of the page as was previously required.
- Browse view performance is improved. Long pages in the Browse view of the repository are now cached. This improves responsiveness when viewing the root directory of the Browse view (as well as the org, com, and net directories)..
