Is it possible to detect which deprecated classes are actively used?

Question

I have a relatively complex java project, with many classes that are probably not used.

Static analysis of the code base is relevant for some of the classes, but some are loaded dynamically (network services, persisted data, etc.)

Is there a method to get a list of deprecated classes that were actively used in the jvm, so I can know if those classes are used?

[I know there may be "sleeper classes" that are used only rarely, but that's a risk I can take]

Answer 1

The JVM may have an option to print information about all used classes. For example:

java -verbose:class ...

You still would have to filter out the deprecated ones by some other means.
