JDeodorant offers a flexible calculator for slice-based cohesion metrics.

Just right-click on a method from Package Explorer and click on Slice-based Cohesion Metrics... from the menu.
The calculator will automatically compute the slices for all the variables which are declared within the body of the selected method and visually present the resulting slice profile.
The user can enable/disable any variable from the slice profile by checking/unchecking the checkboxes on the right part of the dialog screen.
The statements which are common to all enabled slices are highlighted in green color.
The slice-based cohesion metrics (overlap, tightness, coverage) are dynamically re-calculated after each modification of the slice profile.

More details about slice-based cohesion metrics can be found in paper:
L. M. Ott, and J. J. Thuss, “Slice-based metrics for estimating cohesion,” First International Software Metrics Symposium, Baltimore, MD, USA, pp. 71-81, 1993.

Our paper titled "Identification of Extract Method Refactoring Opportunities" has been accepted at 13^th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR'09).

This paper presents a methodology for the decomposition of large and complex methods by extracting the computation of variables into new methods. The suggested slice extraction refactorings contain the complete computation of a given variable, are behavior-preserving and result in code that is not excessively duplicated in the original and extracted method.

You can watch a demonstration of the proposed Slice Extraction methodology, as implemented in JDeodorant Eclipse plug-in, in the Screencasts section. You can also download the camera-ready version of the paper from the Publications section.

Our paper titled "Identification of Move Method Refactoring Opportunities" has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering.

This paper presents a methodology for the identification of Feature Envy bad smells which can be resolved by Move Method refactorings. The proposed methodology has been implemented in JDeodorant Eclipse plug-in and has been evaluated on several open-source projects.

You can download a preprint of the paper from the Publications section.

The developers of JDeodorant will have the opportunity to demonstrate the new features of the tool to the attendants of CSMR '08 in Athens, as the tool has been accepted to be presented in the tool demo session of the conference.

Everyone that would like to see the new features of JDeodorant can visit the Screencasts section of the site.
