   Indeed, `ignoreNonCompile` would suppress the unused runtime dependencies, but it would suppress e.g. unused `provided` scoped dependencies, too.
   
   Those are quite often expected to be referenced in class files, e.g. API dependencies or compile-time annotations, and unused dependencies of those kind shall be warned about, still.
   
   I use the analyze-only goal to make sure as good as possible, "all but only" directly used dependencies are referenced in POM.
