>                 Key: MNG-2659
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2659
>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
>            Reporter: Brett Porter
>
> If you define a property like this:
> {code:xml}
> <properties>
>   <http.port>${http.port}</http.port>
> </properties>
> {code}
> The interpolator *correctly* identifies that this will cause a loop and throws an Exception.
> However, if you define it with some indirection, eg:
> {code:xml}
> <properties>
>   <http.port>${foo}</http.port>
>   <foo>${http.port}</foo>
> </properties>
> {code}
> This causes an infinite loop, where it should be detected and the same exception thrown as above.
