Consider using the [Caffeine library](https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine) instead. — Henrik Aasted Sørensen, Oct 30 '17 at 11:46

Use ProGuard

Guava has an entire wiki section dedicated to your use case.

If you want to integrate ProGuard with Gradle, just use the following:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        flatDir dirs: '/usr/local/java/proguard/lib'
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath ':proguard:'
    }
}

You can find more info on ProGuard with Gradle here.

Your mean is that if I use Proguard, it will remove all of those unused libraries. Already I am using it. – Davoud Oct 30 '17 at 11:01

@Patzu It will remove **classes** from **`guava-xx.jar`** that are not needed by your application. So you keep only the classes from Guava you actually use directly or indirectly. – Olivier Grégoire Oct 30 '17 at 11:05
