I tried Maven plugins for code analysis and finding duplicate/similar code.
CPD-PMD’s Copy/Paste Detector can be used for finding duplicate code, which is included in PMD, a Java code analysis tool.
run mvn pmd:cpd ,
The report is displayed at cpd.html file, and the results are very efficient.
Simian – Similarity Analyser is also an alternative for finding duplicates.
We started code review using Crucible, so i searched for some code analysis maven plugins. PMD is a Java code analysis tool and used to find potential problems like unused code, duplicate code, unused variables… PMD is useful and easy:
pom.xml:
<reporting> <outputdirectory>target/reporting/pmd</outputdirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid> <artifactid>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactid> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting>
