Java build process that prevents references to forbidden classes

I have to adhere to coding guidelines that prevent using some JDK classes and methods. I'd like to have a plugin for Ant or Eclipse that I can run to check if my code is compliant. I would be supplying it with a blacklist (or maybe a whitelist).

In addition to the above answers, there is another alternative for achieving this. Define a custom SecurityManager. See checkPackageAccess() for more details.

A bit more involved is using AspectJ, but there are a lot of 'rules' you can program into that. See this blog post of mine for an example on how to use AspectJ for a very custom coding guideline rule enforcement.

Try CheckStyle. It has a plethora of options that you can enforce on developers.

PMD could do that. I am not sure it out-of-the box, but implementing such a rule is not too hard to do. The import-rules could be a start. PMD plugins exist for Eclipse, ant and other IDEs and build tools.
