Forbidden API rules
===================

Uwe's excellent forbidden API checker is applied as part of 'check'
task. The rules for each project are sourced dynamically based on the
actual set of dependencies.

If a given project has a dependency on an artifact called "foo.bar:baz"
then all of these rule files will be applied (all paths relative
to: gradle/validation/forbidden-apis/).

defaults.all.txt
defaults.[project].txt
foo.bar.baz.all.txt
foo.bar.baz.[project].txt

Note that the "defaults" can't reference any JARs other than Java's
runtime.

Example
-------

We'd like to prevent people from using Guava's
com.google.common.base.Charsets class. The rule would be:

@defaultMessage Use java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets instead
com.google.common.base.Charsets

and we would place this rule in this file:

gradle/validation/forbidden-apis/com.google.guava.guava.all.txt

From now on, if *any* module depends on this library, it will
automatically pick up the rule and enforce it.
