摘要：The Software Systems are becoming more complex and so the understandability and maintainability of the software systems is degrading day by day. It has become one of the most expensive activities in the software industries to maintain a system. The copying and duplication of source code is a common activity but it introduces a negative point to reuse by creating code clones. Therefore detection of code clones plays a vital role in software industries and it is also an active research area these days. Detection of duplicate codes increases efficiency of the software maintenance process and decreases the cost of maintenance with increase in the understand ability of the system. Various techniques have been developed for detecting clones but most of them like text based approach and token based approaches take a large amount of time and are expensive too. Other approaches like tree based and PDG based are very complex. The aim of the presented work is to develop a tool based on metric based approach to detect clones for java source files with ease.
