Description

Given that ArchUnit is open-source, it may be a better fit for capturing package tangles. We may be able to use it in the same way that Spring Framework does.

Note that we'd want to examine the tangles that Structure 101 captures and see how well ArchUnit does with the same.

Research direction

Start with buildSrc/src/main/java/org/springframework/build/architecture/ArchitectureRules.java in the linked Spring Framework example, then identify which package tangles Structure101 currently captures. Compare whether ArchUnit can capture the same tangles in this project; done means the comparison is documented and a viable replacement path is established.
