B. Garvelink commented on MDEP-124:
-----------------------------------
Likewise, if you run {{dependency-analyze[Only]}} on a project without any
source code in it (the plugin is defined in my root pom, and I'm building an
EAR module), all project dependencies are reported as unused declared.
> Dependency incorrectly reported as "Unused declared"
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: MDEP-124
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-124
> Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: analyze
> Reporter: Olivier Dehon
> Assignee: Brian Fox
>
> When a dependency is only required for a constant in a JAR,
> dependency:analyze incorrectly reports the dependency as "Unused declared".
> Example:
> Constants.jar has 1 class called Constants.java:
> {code}
> package com.myco.util;
> public class Constants
> {
> private Constants() {};
> public static final double PI = 3.14159;
> }
> {code}
> Then App jar has App.java as:
> {code}
> package com.myco.app;
> public class App
> {
> public static void main( String[] args )
> {
> System.out.println( com.myco.util.Constants.PI );
> }
> }
> {code}
> Since the constant gets optimized away in the generated {{App.class}}, the
> dependency is not detected, even though the project won't compile without it.
