> Maven's transitive dependency algorithm fails silently when there are cycles in the dependency graph. The symptom is that Maven sometimes fails to find all the dependencies that it should. For instance, suppose A depends on B, B and C depend on each other, and C depends on D. Maven will fail to discover that A transitively depends on D.
> I would expect Maven to do one of two things in this case: Either it should find that A transitively depends on B, C, and D, or it should terminate with an error. In either case it should report that there is a cycle involving B and C.
