>                 Key: MDEP-714

>             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: analyze

> 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.
