I've been using helm-projectile's helm-projectile-ag in emacs (on prelude) a lot lately. It's very nice to have live filtering while you type a query, and the ability to search for symbol at point.
rking's ag.vim provides a UI to Silver Searcher in vim, it is effectively similar to this, plus it's right in your next editor! https://github.com/rking/ag.vim
That said Hound looks like a nice tool. I'm giving it a try.
This has basically replaced ack for me. I was dubious of a web -based search tool when Kelly first sent an email about it, but after trying it a couple of times, I abandoned ack. It being linkable is extra icing on the cake for me.
If you're experimenting, use `git config --global credential.helper 'store'` to set git to store your credentials in a plain-text file. Then (if you're on GitHub), generate a personal access token (https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-fo...), and then use that as the password - once you've entered it once, it should be stored and not prompted for again.
Do you mean outside of an IDE, because as the sibling comment notes: both IntelliJ and other inferior editors do this.
If you mean from the command-line, then, yes, it likely take some use of mvn dependency:tree and javap invocations (or unzip for the deps that ship -sources.jar artifacts)

Edit: A command line version is also on the way.

Is there a sublime or textmate plugin?

Please remember how insecure this is.
