Robert, Thanks for a quick answer. I have read RAT's proposal, and I agree that it is a right place to go. Do I understand correctly that you and your project fellows are open to start this GSoC task? I'm open for any form of collaboration, e.g. co-mentorship.
Wtih best regards, Alexei P.S. Technically, it is ok to create the anti-plagiarism tool using Java: Google provides Javi API. The next similarity is in heuristic nature of comparison. Could you please provide a pointer how RAT heuristics are kept in the code?
