The problem here is that p.getProperty() triggers the PropertyHelper to
be placed in a reference (the first call of getProperty() does this).
In Project#addReference() there is  a log message for the fact
that the PropertyHelper reference has been added.
This would cause "messageLogged()" to be called again - hence the 
"infinite loop" detected
and terminated...

The System.out in the error message is invalid - the code assumes that 
it is System.out
if the priority of the message is not ERR, but this is up to the logger 
itself to decide.

The error could be fixed by removing the log() in 
Project#addReference(),  (so that project.getProperty()
can work in a logger) - but this is not a general solution.
Or by silently suppressing the log if a log message is called from 
within a Logger#printMessage -
but this could cause loss of information.
