Keyword programming in java

Keyword programming is a novel technique for reducing the need to remember details of programming language syntax and APIs, by translating a small number of keywords provided by the user into a valid expression. Prior work has demonstrated the feasibility and merit of this approach in limited domains. This paper presents a new algorithm that scales to the much larger domain of general-purpose Java programming. We tested the algorithm by extracting keywords from method calls in open source projects, and found that it could accurately reconstruct over 90% of the original expressions. We also conducted a study using keywords generated by users, whose results suggest that users can obtain correct Java code using keyword queries as accurately as they can write the correct Java code themselves
