It is actually not easy to detect an unused method due inheritance and polymorphism since the class of the instance you use is determined at runtime.
If you have some time to spend you can either search the web (there are many static source code analyzers out there and tell us your findings!!) or use a code profiler such as CLOVER or JProbe .
