Suppose I have a class in my package org.jake and it has a method with default access (no modifier). Then the method is visible inside the package only.

However, when someone receives the jar of my framework, what is to stop them from writing a new class, declaring its package as org.jake, and using my supposedly invisible method?

In other words, is there anything I can do to prevent them from doing that?
