Working with Duplicates
TeamCity provides a powerful mechanism for finding redundant and seemingly harmless pieces of code that may eventually lead to an unmanageable project code base.
The TeamCity plugin for IntelliJ Platform enables you to examine results of duplicates analysis without leaving the IDE. The results can be reviewed in either the editor or in the Duplicates tool window and help you keep the code base better structured and controlled.
Setting up a build configuration with the Duplicates finder build runner ensures that all of the integrated code is constantly checked for duplicates.
Any code duplicates found on the server-side are loaded into the editor and highlighted with a particular color which can be configured in the Colors and Fonts dialog.
This section describes how to:
