+🕵 Different projects exist that analyze Java package dependencies, validate and/or produce metrics on them.
+I'm not aware of any tool though that provides instantaneous feedback about any unwanted dependencies right during compilation.
+Some related tools are:
+
+* [ArchUnit](https://www.archunit.org/) aims at enforcing architectures described in a Java DSL.
+In contrast to Deptective it is not executed during compilation but via (JUnit) tests.
+* [JDepend](https://github.com/clarkware/jdepend) analyzes Java packages and produces metrics on them.
+* The Eclipse Java compiler allows to put access restrictions in place but they can only be used to limit access to types/packages in other JARs on the classpath, not to packages of the current compilation unit itself
