> When a dependency  is only required for a constant in a JAR, dependency:analyze incorrectly reports the dependency as "Unused declared".
> Example:
> Constants.jar has 1 class called Constants.java:
> {code}
> package com.myco.util;
> public class Constants 
> {
>     private Constants() {};
>     public static final double PI = 3.14159;
> }
> {code}
> Then App jar has App.java as:
> {code}
> package com.myco.app;
> public class App 
> {
>     public static void main( String[] args )
>     {
>         System.out.println( com.myco.util.Constants.PI );
>     }
> }
> {code}
> Since the constant gets optimized away in the generated {{App.class}}, the dependency is not detected, even though the project won't compile without it.
