Re: [jdt-core-dev] Finding dead code

Latest integration build has a correction for search engine which should
improve the tool diagnostics.

[jdt-core-dev] Finding dead code

Please respond to
jdt-core-dev
I have had several emails asking for a pointer to the tool that finds dead
code. It is located in the org.eclipse.core.tools plugin, available via
anonymous CVS connection to dev.eclipse.org. Simply install that plugin,
and a new action is added to the package explorer context menu (Find
Unreferenced Members). For a peek at the implementation, look at
FindUnusedMembersAction.java. Again, for anyone using it, be wary of false
hits - it will report a method as unreferenced even if it overrides a
supertype method that is referenced. Validate any results carefully before
deleting code.
