Description Per Lauge Holst CLA 2006-02-27 09:39:08 EST 
Keeping an old source base clean and clutter free may become a daunting task. If I could get a list of classes not referenced by any other class for a given (self contained) project, then I could clean up the mess.

Current workaround is: For each class, check references for project - if any then continue, otherwise check manually if class could be instantiated by reflection in the project.

It's the set of the latter I'd be interested in. A solution could be to either list them all, mark them as possibly deprecated, or move them to another folder, e.g. /deprecated.

Of course, the functionality need not be project only - it could as well be on the entire workspace, but it's primarily a per project evaluation.

Actually it's much like the "Close Unrelated Projects" of 3.2M5 - to remove clutter and enhance performance.
