Program slicing is a technique of abstracting from a program depending on slicing criteria to be used in maintenance, debugging and other applications. Java programs as any other programming language has been a target for slicing tool, such as Kaveri and WALA. In this paper, we present a new Java backward slicing tool; JavaBST. JavaBST, proposed a new way of reading java code and produce the dependencies depending on the syntax to produce a backward slice for each variable in the program. It succeeded in terms of producing slices. But, still simple tool to deal with complicated programs.
