I would give you a starter for developping tools for you. See the following GitHub project.

My com.kazurayam.ks.ObjectRepositoryRetriever class reads the XML config files in the Object Repository folder and returns a List<TestObject>. My demo test case converts each TestObject instance into JSON text and prints them like this:

      "condition": "EQUALS",
      "value": "comment",
      "isActive": true
    }

  "xpaths": [],
  "objectId": "Page_AppointmentConfirmation/lbl_Comment",

  "selectorCollection": {}

  "isParentObjectShadowRoot": false,

      "isActive": true

  ],
  "xpaths": [],
  "objectId": "Page_AppointmentConfirmation/lbl_Facility",
  "useRelativeImagePath": false,
  "selectorMethod": "BASIC",

}
...

You would want to extend my sample code so that it helps you finding duplicating TestObjects.
How to do that? …well, I do not know. It is your homework.
