Of course, any of those tools can NOT deterministically find unused code (see the Halting Problem). Any code could eventually be called, through various means like Reflection.
But those static analysis tools can help.
For additional hints, a good test coverage is still required (dynamic analysis).

Something like EclEmma (http://www.eclemma.org/) might be what you're looking for. It shows code coverage for packages, classes, methods and individual lines.

Some lines will never get 100% coverage (e.g. Enums) but it will give you a good idea about what's being used.
