At TIOBE we want to use CPD to check duplicated code for TypeScript and XAML with the built-in Ecmascript and JSP tokenizers. The TypeScript syntax resembles Javascript and XAML files are XML files, just as JSP files.
Unfortunately we cannot use the built-in tokenizers, because CPD rejects the files because the file extensions do not match '.js' or '.jsp'. To fix this problem, I removed the file filter when a user explicit specifies a file name on the CPD command line instead of a directory. I think this is a rare use case, a normal user will specify a directory containing the source files, so it is safe to assume that the user knows what he is doing.
