Finding unused jars used in an eclipse project

Question

Are there any plugins/tools available to go through the classpath of an eclipse project (or workspace) and highlight any unused jars?

Answer 1

I found a very fast and interesting tool to archive this goal:

http://tattletale.jboss.org/

Just unzip the program and run:

java -Xmx512m -jar tattletale.jar ~/myjavaproject/mydistribution output

This will generate a very impressive report with different points (text from their site):

• Identify dependencies between JAR files
• Find missing classes from the classpath
• Spot if a class/package is located in multiple JAR files
• Spot if the same JAR file is located in multiple locations
• With a list of what each JAR file requires and provides
• Verify the SerialVersionUID of a class
• Find similar JAR files that have different version numbers
• Find JAR files without a version number
• Find unused JAR archives
• Identify sealed / signed JAR archives
• Locate a class in a JAR file
• Get the OSGi status of your project
• Remove black listed API usage
• And generate the same reports for your .WAR and .EAR archives
