Maven should fail the build or give a warning when there are cyclic dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4999
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4999
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: POM
Affects Versions: 3.0.2, 2.2.1
Environment: any
Reporter: Phillip Hellewell
Maven gives no warning or error when there are cyclic dependencies. It should
give at least a warning, and have the ability to fail the build through an
option.
How to reproduce:
1. Make B that doesn't depend on anything. Deploy a snapshot of B.
2. Make A that depends on the snapshot of B . Deploy a snapshot of A.
3. Change B to depend on the snapshot of A. Now deploy a new snapshot of B
(same version as in step 1).
I would venture to say that the perc. of people who actually want to allow
cycles is smaller than the percentage who want to catch it as an error.
