How to find out about unused dependencies Maven in Intellij Idea


My project is growing but i have many unused dependencies, how to find out, which one i really need, and which one is really useless? There is a some Intellij Idea Extensions?


Solution

  • You can run the Maven goal dependency:analyze which lists the dependencies that are not used in your source code. Beware, though, that sometimes dependencies are necessary although they are not referenced in source code.
