Tools to detect duplicated code (Java)

Programmer Question

I am in a project where previous programmers have been copy-pasting codes all over the place. These codes are actually identical (or very similar) and they could have been refactored into one.



I have spent countless hours refactoring these codes manually but I think there must be a better way. Some are very trivial static methods that could have been moved into an ancestor class (but instead was copy pasted all over by previous junior programmers).



Is there a code analysis tool that can detect this and provide reports/recommendations? I prefer free/open source tool if possible.
