Rich Seddon commented on MNG-4999: ---------------------------------- I think it may be possible to close this now, this seems to do the job: http://mojo.codehaus.org/extra-enforcer-rules/banCircularDependencies.html > Maven should fail the build or give a warning when there are cyclic > dependencies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4999 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4999 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: POM > Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0.2 > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
