[m2] cyclic dependency created by build plugin?!

[Adrian Herscu <bm...@fastmail.fm>]

Hi all,

I have four projects:

0) root -- contains lang, lang-comp and maven-lang-plugin

1) lang -- contains a sample project written in the language "lang"
	depends on nothing but requires maven-lang-plugin to build

2) lang-comp -- contains a "lang" compiler
	depends on lang for testing

3) maven-lang-plugin -- contains a maven plugin for the "lang" compiler
	depends on lang-comp


Trying to mvn install the root leads to a cyclic dependency error 
stating something like this: lang-comp --> lang --> maven-lang-plugin 
--> lang-comp.

Why?

(I think it should not because: 1) the dependency of lang-comp on lang 
is for testing only; 2) lang depends on maven-lang-plugin only for build)

Any way out?...

Adrian.
