java intellij-idea code-coverage jacoco

I am trying to find dead code on our application by using a code coverage tool (rather a static code analysis tool). I have chosen JaCoCo and am able to get a report thanks to the JaCoCo agent.

I know that Intellij IDEA works with JaCoCo but I couldn't find anyway to import my JaCoCo report into Intellij IDEA. Any idea on how to do that?

Thanks

Found the solution. I have installed the coverage plugin and the EclEmma plugin (not sure if this one is really necessary...). Then "Analyse -> Show Coverage Data..." and pick your Jacoco output file. This file HAS to have the .exec extension, otherwise you can't select it. That was my problem...

Thanks
