How to discover repeating code lines with PMD

A popular attempt to bypass Salesforce Apex code coverage rules are code busters where one statement is used in thousands of repeating lines.

We have found variations like i=1; or a++; or a=b; with endless variations for the variable name. All have in common that two (or more) consecutive lines (excluding empty or comments) are identical.

How can I discover those in PMD?

This sound more like a use case for the copy paste detector. This is a separate tool also available from PMD: https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.12.0/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html

However, CPD is focused on finding duplicated code between different files, whereas you seem to be looking for duplicated code within one file.
