LibFinder: Software Library Recommendation

LibFinder is a software library recommendation system to find a then recommend "useful" third-party software libraries for software systems. The goal is to prevent missed reuse opportunities during software maintenance and evolution by attracting the attention of developers to potentially useful and relevent third-party libraries to their software systems.

Datasets

Wen mined our Dataset from large code repositories:

• Full library usage data is available here. (Right click to download)
• The set of mined libraries includes 6,083 libraries from Maven Central Repository. The list is avilable here. (Right click to download)
• The set of mined client systems includes 32,760 client systems from Github. The list is available here. (Right click to download)

Tools

• Data Extraction tool: https://github.com/raux/PomWalker which extract libray usage using Maven dependencies.
  

Note that for all data, we first downloaded an offline copy of the original software projects (the source code) from Github and the libraries (the jar files) from Maven before extraction.
