[jira] (MNG-5601) multimodule plugin configuration e.g. "build-tools" pattern broken

Matt Benson created MNG-5601:
--------------------------------

             Summary: multimodule plugin configuration e.g. "build-tools" pattern broken
                 Key: MNG-5601
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5601
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies, Plugins and Lifecycle
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Matt Benson


The recommendation at https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html breaks down in projects that use the pattern more than once, e.g. for checkstyle/findbugs/PMD alike. I have boiled this down to a super-simple test project that defines a build-tools module, and in separate profiles declares each of these plugins with a dependency on that submodule. Activating any one of these profiles and calling `mvn validate` works fine, but as soon as you activate two or more of them the command fails with "The projects in the reactor contain a cyclic reference".
