I am creating maven project in which I added many jars. Now I want to delete some jars from project which are unused. But I am not able to identify which are unused. So can any one provide me simple way to identify and remove those unused jar. I saw some solutions but that are not working for me.

1I have edited your question to remove the parts where you asked for tool suggestions, which would make your question off-topic. – Mark Rotteveel Feb 03 '18 at 13:52

Note that you must add jars using "pom.xml". You cannot use the normal way your IDE adds jar. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Feb 03 '18 at 14:34

First remove unused imports from your source code. In Eclipse it is Source -> Organize Imports. Then you could use the Maven dependency analyzer by running mvn dependency:analyze-only. It will produce a report identifying, i.a., unused dependencies.

You can use maven dependency:analyze to detect un used dependencies. But it wont remove anything.
