Take a look at: Archiving Rules or Macker

These tools can alert you to a rule violation. They support the rule "a package must not call any other package."



I don't know if there is an eclipse plugin for any of these, sorry.

You will need to create them as separate projects, with project B being related to project A, but not vice versa.

If you want even tighter enforcement, you can make your projects OSGi / Eclipse plugins. This allows you to specify which packages are exported from a package, and you can even specify that only certain packages can refer to certain packages.
