Unused Deps

unused-deps finds dependencies listed on a Bazel java_library target that the code never actually uses — anyone trying to keep a Java BUILD graph lean, or trim a target's compile-time closure, runs it before pruning deps by hand.

It takes one or more target labels, checks each java_library's declared deps against what its sources actually import, and prints the buildozer commands that would remove the unused ones. It never edits a file itself.

What's included

• unused-deps — the single static binary. No runtime dependencies.

Usage

unused-deps //pkg:my_java_library

Prints a buildozer 'remove deps ...' line for each dependency the target doesn't need.

unused-deps ships from the same repository and release as buildifier and buildozer — if you need one, the other two are one ocx add away.
