Description

Dependence:analyze-only complains about unused dependency on super class artifact when

• superclass and subclass package are in separate artifacts
• subclass is used explicitly in target maven module
• superclass is used only by subclass internals

In this case java compiler requires superclass to be provided during compilation, but dependency plugin reports superclass package as unused.
