[ECLIPSE] Automatically marking unused fields and methods?

Thread view:

Is there a plug-in for Eclipse that automatically marks unused code
(unused variables, and methods that are never called)? I find myself
doing a lot of Ctrl+Shift+G (search for references to a particular field)...
Cheers,

Not specifically a plug-in for Eclipse, but we
have a tool that finds unused definitions of any type
across large Java systems.

It will automatically remove them, too.

Well, my systems aren't all that large. And my wallet is much too thin
for your prices...

Thanks anyway,

You could try the findbugs Eclipse plug-in
http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/
It's free and works pretty well
