How to rectify all valid libs in a java project?

Question

I am migrating a java project into a Maven project, so i have to check/validate all listed libs to figure out the uses ones.I mean i have to exclude the not using libraries (jar files).

So i figured out the one way is to go in.classpath file and comment each classpathentry and build and see if that is being used.And it is very tedious job:) Think about when you have a 20 year old product and with 200+ libs.

Please suggest some automate ways to do this in a single go.

Intellij tells you which libraries are not used: Files -> Project Structure -> Libraries

And also in Files -> Project Structure -> Problems
