Maven dependency:analyze complains about the dependencies in my project. How does it determine which are unused and which are undeclared ? What should I do about them ? Example: $ mvn dependency:analyze ... [WARNING] Used undeclared dependencies found: [WARNING] org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.0:provided [WARNING] commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile [WARNING] commons-dbutils:commons-dbutils:jar:1.1-osgi:provided [WARNING] org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-core-asl:jar:1.6.1:compile ...
