In this case it does not matter > if attribute {{prerequisite}} is set or not. After command {{feature:install > c-references-a}} Karaf freezes and must be restarted. > > I would expect, that the feature:install command fails with an error message > like this: > "Feature com.foo.bar could not be installed because a circular reference: > a-references-b > b-references-c > c-references-a" > You can checkout a project which helps to reproduce the case from > [https://github.com/SourcePond/reproduce-feature-circular-dependency.git] > (Maven-Modules c-references-a and c-references-a-prerequisite-true). Simply > install the root-project to have all necessary Maven dependencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
