activemq-all, as its name suggests, bundles third-party dependencies in its JAR (rather than declaring them as dependencies), and it happens to include slf4j: http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.activemq/activemq-all/5.11.1 So I suppose, the first run finds slf4j classes in activemq-all so it marks the slf4j dependency as "unused declared". Do not ever use "uberjars" as dependencies, and report it upstream if it comes as a transitive dependency of a third party (and in the meantime, exclude the transitive dependency and add the proper non-uberjar dependencies instead).
