[jira] [Created] (MDEP-714) runtime dependencies reported as unused

Elliotte Rusty Harold created MDEP-714:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: 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


Typical output:

[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.
