unused methods and classes

Hi all,

I suppose that question has been already posted before but I don't find a tool that answered my need.

I would like to clean my code by looking for unused methods -in particular in interfaces- and unused classes even they are public.

Do you know if some tools (free or commercial) are able to do this job ?

Thank in advance

Franck

In Eclipse, if you turn on the "Warnings" feature it tells you (by
underlining in yellow) which variables are unused. You can set this up
in your Eclipse Preferences. I'm not entirely sure if it can also tell
you about methods etc but its worth checking out.

Yeah that's...

'Window' menu -> Preferences... -> Java --> Compiler --> 'Unused Code'
tab.

It doesn't tell you if a whole class is never used though.
