I am making a Java Swing project and it includes like 80-90 libraries. I am not using most of them but I added them as they came in a pack. e.g. I have added all lib files from javamail, though I know that I am only using SMTP. Is there any way to find out which libraries I am not using???. Is there a safe way to remove these libraries without causing a conflict?
I am using Netbeans IDE. Please help.

    That means management of library dependencies. There is the ant/ivy combo, but I use the maven build infrastructure.

    Create a new maven project in NetBeans, add all sources (to src/main/java), and then start adding dependencies (appears in the project explorer).

    Transitive dependencies are dealt with.

    This is ideal, as also library versions are maintained.

    Mind: maven first loads the libraries with their metadata in a local “repository”, per default .m2 in the user directory.

    I can only recommend maven.
