Ucdetector: You can install a plugin from this link. It works pretty well we have been using it in all our projects. It generates a html report as well it can mark warnings in eclipse. It helps you find unused classes, methods and variables. Only thing it dosen't do well is finding if a class is used via reflection only or where instance is created via spring. In these cases it still shows that class is unused.

http://ucdetector.sourceforge.net/update

Another thing you can do to clean up other types of unsed code is GoTo Window>Preferences>Java>Compiler>Error/Warnings

enter image description here Now look for uncessary code section and tweak the settings as you desire to cleanup further.

I hope it helps :)

There exists a Eclipse plugin Unused Code Detector (http://www.ucdetector.org/). It can process a specific file or the entire project, searching for unused members/methods.
