Ed,

We are working with the Eclipse platform
team (Jeem) on this project. The old "internal" tool did not
understand component boundaries.

The functionality appears to overlap
3.1M3/s "early detection of reference to internal classes" quite
a bit, see:
http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.1M3-200411050810/eclipse-news-part1-M3.html
It would be nice for any additional
functionality the scanner provides to be folded into these existing integrated
checks.
 
Maintaning the component xml files
looks painful. Why not keep the annotations for things like "clients
shouldn't implement this interface" in the source code itself, either
through special comments or later through J2SE5 annotations?
