JExamples provides the ability to search for Java examples extracted from open source projects. The search engine understands the semantics of Java, so the search yields more accurate results than a text search. The site also provides the ability to rate examples so the highest rated examples will be shown first.

Existing since March, 2005, JExamples was the first public web site to allow searching of open source code.
