How to prevent certain packages from using spring with ArchUnit?

Question

If I wanted to keep a certain Java package free of 3rd party dependencies with ArchUnit, how would I do it?

More specifically I am looking at keeping my domain model in a hexagonal architecture free from spring code. I specified some rules which I believe ought to prevent the model from using spring. However, I am able to use spring annotations like @Component and @Bean without causing a violation.

What I tried so far is

layeredArchitecture().
  layer("domain").definedBy(DOMAIN_LAYER).
  layer("application").definedBy(APPLICATION_LAYER).
  layer("primary-adapters").definedBy(PRIMARY_ADAPTERS).
  layer("secondary-adapters").definedBy(SECONDARY_ADAPTERS).
  layer("spring").definedBy("org.springframework..")
  whereLayer("spring").mayOnlyBeAccessedByLayers("primary-adapters", "secondary-adapters", "application").
  because("Domain should be kept spring-free").
  check(CLASSES);

As well as

noClasses().that().resideInAPackage(DOMAIN_LAYER).
should().dependOnClassesThat().resideInAPackage("org.springframework..").
check(CLASSES);

noClasses().that().resideInAPackage(DOMAIN_LAYER).
should().accessClassesThat().resideInAPackage("org.springframework..").
check(CLASSES);

Here a code example which executes the tests just fine, although com.example.app.domain.Factory is importing org.springframework....

You can use DescribedPredicate:

void domainSpring() {
    DescribedPredicate<JavaAnnotation> springAnnotationPredicate = new DescribedPredicate<JavaAnnotation>("Spring filter") {
        @Override
        public boolean apply(JavaAnnotation input) {
            return input.getType().getPackageName().startsWith("org.springframework");
        }
    };
    classes().that().resideInAPackage(DOMAIN_LAYER).should()
            .notBeAnnotatedWith(springAnnotationPredicate).check(CLASSES);

}
