I believe, this will not be possible on the fly like currently for private members. If you have a large class (let's say 2000 lines; yes, in some projects exists a few of such large classes), even now it takes up to 10 or 20 seconds to parse the whole file.
But what about following idea: Like there is a Find Usages, it would be cool (and I think, it's already planned for Ariadna) to perform a Find Unused on package or project level, that finds all classes, methods and fields, that are (currently) unused (I would not find, if it takes 5 or 10 minutes). The result should be shown in the well-proven Find tree-view. Maybe it would be cool to be able to mark classes or methods, that are used by reflection, with a user-definable pattern, so IDEA would not show them as unused in the Find tree-view.
