Abstract-Design patterns support extraction of design information for better program understanding, reusability and reengineering. With the advent of contemporary applications, the extraction of design information has become quite complex and challenging. These applications are multilingual in nature i.e. their design information is spread across various language components that are interlinked with each other. At present, no approach is available that is capable to extract design information of multilingual applications by using design patterns. This paper lays foundation for the analysis of multilingual source code for the detection of J2EE Patterns.
