All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule

public class LoosePackageCouplingRule
extends AbstractJavaRule

The loose package coupling Rule can be used to ensure coupling outside of a package hierarchy is minimized to all but an allowed set of classes from within the package hierarchy.

For example, supposed you have the following package hierarchy:

• org.sample
• org.sample.impl
• org.sample.util

And the allowed class org.sample.SampleInterface.

This rule can be used to ensure that all classes within the org.sample package and its sub-packages are not used outside of the org.sample package hierarchy. Further, the only allowed usage outside of a class in the org.sample hierarchy would be via org.sample.SampleInterface.
