Add this plugin to your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.0</version>
</plugin>

Then just run mvn dependency:analyze-report.

You can run the Maven goal dependency:analyze which lists the dependencies that are not used in your source code. Beware, though, that sometimes dependencies are necessary although they are not referenced in source code.
