${project.name}
Analyzes the dependencies of a project for undeclared or unused artifacts.
<<Warning>>: Because analysis is done on the bytecode rather than the source,
some cases are not detected including constants, annotations with source-only retention,
and links in Javadoc. This can lead to incorrect results when these are the only uses
of a dependency.
The main component is <<<ProjectDependencyAnalyzer>>>
({{{./apidocs/org/apache/maven/shared/dependency/analyzer/ProjectDependencyAnalyzer.html}javadoc}}), which uses
<<<ClassAnalyzer>>>
({{{./apidocs/org/apache/maven/shared/dependency/analyzer/ClassAnalyzer.html}javadoc}})
and <<<DependencyAnalyzer>>>
({{{./apidocs/org/apache/maven/shared/dependency/analyzer/DependencyAnalyzer.html}javadoc}}).
