Improving Maven’s dependency:analyze… or not

Recently, my good friend Richard Fichtner advised using the mvn dependency:analyze command to get rid of declared but unused dependencies: There is another use case for mvn dependency:analyze It can show you the dependencies you use in your code but have not declared in your pom.xml. This works because you have a transitive dependency on your classpath. Either don’t use the dependency or declare it.[image or embed]— Richard Fichtner 💻☕ (@richard.fichtner.dev) December 10, 2024 at 2:
