Lars Knickrehm commented on MDEP-714:
-------------------------------------
As I already proposed a change, is there anything I can do to push this further?
> runtime dependencies reported as unused
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-714
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: analyze
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> Typical output when analyzing the maven-archetype-plugin:
> [WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found:
> [WARNING] org.apache.ivy:ivy:jar:2.5.0:runtime
> However since this is needed at runtime, possibly via reflection, it seems
> likely that it is used but the dependency analyzer can't figure this out.
> Confirm and consider whether the plugin should simply never report runtime
> dependencies as unused.
> This is tricky because it's certainly possible that a runtime dependency is
> unused, but in practice it seems more likely than not to be a false positive.
