Software Reuse is a concept that is frequently mentioned as a way to improve software developers? productivity. However, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in order for software reuse to be adopted by developers. One of those issues is providing enough reusable artifacts. The Java Standard API has been quite successful in this, with the latest version having over 3000 classes available. However this raises the issue of finding the right artifact to reuse. With the Java API, this means trawling through the JavaDoc webpages, which has the risk of not being able to find the right artifact, even though it is in the API. In this paper, we explore the use of latent semantic indexing as a means to index the Java API JavaDoc pages. Specifically, we describe Prophecy, an Eclipse plug-in that presents the Java API as a software repository.
