Seamless Code Reuse with Source Code Corpus

Code reuse is attracting much attention as a promising technique for efficient software development. However, code reuse itself requires human resources: for example, searching and opening source files including code fragments that users would like to reuse, or considering keywords in using code search systems. The present paper proposes a novel technique that hardly requires such reuse cost. In the proposed technique, what programmers have to do for obtaining reusable code is just inputting a trigger key for code reuse on their development environments. Also, this paper describes some applications on OSS with a prototype tool working on Eclipse.
