> {{ApiSurfaceTest}} in the {{sdks/java/core}} is the class responsible for protecting our public API surface.
> This test walks the public signatures of all modules and explicitly verifies that everything is on a whitelist. This is how we control what dependencies we expose to our users, so that Beam can keep a tight, stable API surface.
> We should improve this functionality to be reusable across modules. Ideally, there would be only 2 things in the file: a whitelist and a ~1-line test that passes the whitelist as a parameter to {{ApiSurfaceTest}}.
> As an example of what you have to do without this functionality, see https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/1183
