Kaveri: Delivering the Indus Java Program Slicer to Eclipse

This tool paper describes a modular program slicer for Java built using the Indus program analysis framework along with it’s Eclipse-based user interface called Kaveri. Indus provides a library of classes that enables users to quickly assemble a highly customized non-system dependence graph based inter-procedural program slicer capable of slicing concurrent Java programs. Kaveri is an Eclipse plugin that relies on the above library to deliver program slicing to the eclipse platform. Apart from the basic feature for generating program slices from within eclipse along with an intuitive UI to view the slice, the plugin also provides the capability for chasing various dependences in the application to understand the slice.
