Abstract

Software development life cycle does not end with the development of software. The maintenance of software follows the development of software. Usually a large amount of money is spent on the maintenance purpose which needs to be reduced. A software system might contain a lot of duplicate fragments of code which might mean duplicate bugs. Also, duplicate code fragments might make software design sloppy. Thus there is a need to reduce or eliminate the code clones for reducing the maintenance cost. This paper proposes JAVA CLONE FINDER, which is a software capable of detecting code clones in the source code .It works by creating abstract syntax tree of the source code. It does this by fetching the syntax tree from eclipse compiler and then it displays the common syntax tree via some appropriate GUI. JAVA CLONE FINDER is a easy to use and a cost efficient solution for software maintenance activities.
