I'm not happy with less the 4GB RAM, with/without java, but I'm not sure how that is relevant. RAM is cheap and useful, if you need it, get more. Anyway, opengrok is a web service that runs under tomcat (or similar...), so everyone can share one instance. You drop the source in it's directory and tell it to index. Then you can can browse the files, do raw text searches, or follow the def/ref links that it embeds for you. My point is that it is fast and you can try it out pretty quickly if you know how to deploy a tomcat site - or just follow the instructions.(http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+opengrok/installdescription) It may or may not be useful to you but it shows the language works. As does Jenkins, OpenNMS, Alfresco, etc. Here's a public one but they seem to have disabled the raw browsing - you have to search for something: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/ And it is not nearly as fast as what you'd get with a local install on a centos box. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
