Repositories for software reuse are faced with two interrelated problems: acquiring the knowledge to initially construct the repository, and modifying the repository to meet the evolving and dynamic needs of software development organizations. This paper outlines an approach that avoids these problems by choosing a retrieval method that utilizes minimal repository structure to effectively support the process of finding software components. The approach is demonstrated through a pair of proof-of-concept prototypes: PEEL, a tool to semi-automatically identify reusable components; and CodeFinder, a retrieval system that compensates for the lack of explicit knowledge structures through a spreading activation retrieval process.
