[jira] Closed: (MNG-4110) cyclic reference with 2.1.0 that doesn't matter with 2.0.10

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4110?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brett Porter closed MNG-4110.
-----------------------------

      Assignee: Brett Porter
    Resolution: Won't Fix

this is still correct. Consider if you had pmd:check bound to the lifecycle, then ran "mvn install". This would run in the parent, requiring the child to have run first, but the child obvious requires the parent to run first.

You need to separate the parent into 2 - one that modules that need to use PMD can inherit from, and the common stuff that that parent and the build-tools module can inherit from.

> The situation is that we have a parent pom.xml (projectA in the attachment) which is the parent of every other project. One of the other projects is the one where we define global configuration files for e.g. Checkstyle & PMD checks (projectB in the attachment).
> The cycle exists because projectA refers to projectB in the Checkstyle & PMD plugin configuration and projectA is the parent of projectB.
> IMHO this shouldn't matter (as it as with Maven 2.0.10 and earlier) because projectA is only packaged as a pom and therefore the cycle isn't relevant.
