How can I identify unnecessary jars included in my project?

Question

I\'m working in a Java project where the axis 2 library from Apache is being used. The axis 2 library is composed of about 20 jar files and some of these are not used projec

Answer 1

I would follow your original idea of adding one jar at time until it compiles.

You're right that you can still find run-time errors, but unless the application is too big for a good coverage with manual tests, I would simply run and test it to add any missing jars.
