Emmanuel Bourg commented on COLLECTIONS-483:
--------------------------------------------
Why are these cyclic dependencies an issue? Commons Collections is not
modularized anyway, and the OSGi bundle contains all the packages.
> Cyclic dependencies among several packages.

> Key: COLLECTIONS-483
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-483
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0, 4.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Brahim Djoudi
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: c4.png, c4-refactored.png, c4-src.zip
>
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> Many packages have mutual dependency, directly or undirectly.
> These dependencies may be avoided just by moving some classes and interfaces
> within different packages.
> This refactoring breaks API compatibility but enhances the useability and the
> maintainability (hopefully) of the library. In addition, few issues in
> dynamic environments (like OSGi) less occur.
