Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
Complex classes like CreateDefinition often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use CreateDefinition, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

This check looks for
@param
annotations where the type inferred by our type inference engine differs from the declared type.It makes a suggestion as to what type it considers more descriptive.
Most often this is a case of a parameter that can be null in addition to its declared types.
