-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Cyclic dependencies among several packages.
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-483
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-483
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Improvement

            Reporter: Brahim Djoudi
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: c4.png

Many packages have mutual dependency, directly or undirectly.
These dependencies may be avoided just by moving some classes and interfaces within different packages.
This refactoring breaks API compatibility but enhances the useability and the maintenability (hopefully) of the library. In addition, few issues in dynamic environments (like OSGi) less occur.
