Doesn't anyone know if Maven is supposed to give you an error when
there is a cycle?
If the answer is yes, then I need to figure out what I'm missing.
If the answer is no, then I'll write a plugin to detect cycles and
give an error. I've already got a plugin that detects a version clash
(same artifact in the tree twice with different versions), so I could
just add cycle detection to that one. It will probably be as simple
as checking for myself in the tree of dependencies.
