Well, in this case I noticed the same code copied while grading a project. I used then JPlag to run an automatic check in all the submissions for all the projects. It found many instances where a couple of students did a copy-paste with same variable names, comments, etc. It was quite obvious if you look in detail, and JPlag helped us spot it in multiple files easily.
