Vincent Massol commented on MENFORCER-83:
-----------------------------------------

I have the exact same need. I've had to develop a custom enforcer rule that extends BannedDependencies, see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/blob/73c8404f08ba36136d08c48bbacc9b88f04a07e6/xwiki-commons-tools/xwiki-commons-tool-enforcer-dependencies/src/main/java/org/xwiki/tool/enforcer/XWikiBannedDependencies.java

Thanks!

> The includes and excludes of the bannedDependencies rule support wildcards, but only for an entire section.
> They should be enhanced to support regular expressions.
> For instance instead of having
> <includes>
>   <include>my.company:abc-api</include>
>   <include>my.company:def-api</include>
>   <include>my.company:ghi-api</include>
>   <include>my.company:jkl-api</include>
> </includes>
> one would specify
> <includes>
>   <include>my.company:.*\-api</include>
> </includes>
> To be compatible, the wildcard '*' would be treated as regular expression '.*'
