%X Although Extract Method is a key refactoring for improving program comprehension, refactoring tools for such purpose are often underused. To address this shortcoming, we present JExtract, a recommendation system based on structural similarity that identifies Extract Method refactoring opportunities that are directly automated by IDE-based refactoring tools. Our evaluation suggests that JExtract is far more effective (w.r.t. recall and precision) to identify misplaced code in methods than JDeodorant, a state-of-the-art tool
