Method, system and program product for determining java software code plagiarism and infringement

摘要

An analysis tool extracts class data from Java objects within a potential plagiarizing Java program and the original Java program, and then compares classes common to the potential plagiarizing program and the original across various performance metrics. Similarities disclosed by the analysis tool are output for user or programmatic comparison of the matches between the potentially plagiarizing Java program byte code and the original program's byte code.
