Is there a simple way to remove unused dependencies from a maven pom.xml?

by

The Maven Dependency Plugin will help, especially the dependency:analyze goal:

dependency:analyze analyzes the dependencies of this project and determines which are: used and declared; used and undeclared; unused and declared.

Another thing that might help to do some cleanup is the Dependency Convergence report from the Maven Project Info Reports Plugin.
