Abstract
The primary objective of code clone research is to provide techniques and tools through which the topics such as clone detection and clone management. A number of techniques have been proposed for clone detections and sure to have even more detectors in future. Some limited methods have been proposed for clone modifications. A technique that helps for clone modification is refactoring. But this is not possible for all the clones, as there are clones which cannot be modified. Moreover, some of the clones have to exist to maintain the consistency of the problem. Most of the programmers modify the clone and need to make the modification throughout all the identical clones. We propose a method, which provide a modification environment of the clones for the programmer. We use the clone detection tool CloneManager. We embedded this feature as an enhancement of the clone detection tool, CloneManager.
