Build cleaner for Java

[Gaurav Nanda]

Hey! 

I am an x-googler, who loved the build cleaner to automatically remove the unused dependencies from Java_library targets.

Do we have an equivalent tool available for Bazel with Java? I found a few on awesomebazel.com - but none of those seem to work or have been deprecated.

Tried this, but does not seem to work, looks like the last commit happened in 2018.

How about unused_deps?

Sorry - there are recent commits. But when I tried this one, it seems to remove almost all of the dependencies.

There's also a (new) Java Gazelle extension in https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_jvm/tree/main/java/gazelle which I'd expect to mostly manage java_* rules.
