Atomiq: A neat tool for finding and eliminating duplicate code

It's been about three months that I am involved with the development of a legacy Java-based project. The product has been in development for about ten years and for reasons that we all know it contains a lot of copy-and-pasted chunks of code.

HTML5, Flash and iPad - Pop Culture ... what do you think?

About CodeTown
