error: Introducing edge will cause a Cycle ?
Does anyone know why I get this message or what it means? I'm trying to
have my top-level project create an EAR which depends on each child
project to first create a WAR.
<dependency>
<groupId>projectX</groupId>
<artifactId>childA</artifactId>
<jar>childA.war</jar>
<type>war</type>
<properties>
<ear.bundle.war>true</ear.bundle.war>
</properties>
</dependency>
However specifying this dependency causes this error message...
...
Starting the reactor (this may take a while)...
BUILD FAILED
Introducing edge will cause a Cycle.
Total time: 5 seconds
...
I've gotten arround this problem by creating a separate child project B
which specifies this above dependency to produce the EAR. Can anyone
come up with a better suggestion for solving this problem (i.e.
project/child project directory structure who's final output is an
aggregated EAR or WAR of the child project artifacts?)
