Thumbs Up for Google labs.
Thumbs Down for poor security coding.

This looks somewhat similar to Bugle -

Nice find Stephen.

Google's code search provides an easy way to find obvious software
flaws in open source and example applications, e.g.:

XSS in Java apps

3D.*getParameter&btnG=Search

(Really obvious) SQL Injection in Java apps:
http://www.google.com/codesearch?
hl=en&lr=&q=executeQuery.*getParameter&btnG=Search

Ever wonder why we're still seeing XSS in 2006?:
