-----------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Incorrect dependency resolution when there are cyclic dependencies

> Key: MNG-3486
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3486
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8, 2.1
> Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8
> Java version: 1.5.0_12
> OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.17-1.2142_fc4smp" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
> Reporter: John Williams
>
> Maven's transitive dependency algorithm fails silently when there are cycles
> in the dependency graph. The symptom is that Maven sometimes fails to find
> all the dependencies that it should. For instance, suppose A depends on B, B
> and C depend on each other, and C depends on D. Maven will fail to discover
> that A transitively depends on D.
> I would expect Maven to do one of two things in this case: Either it should
> find that A transitively depends on B, C, and D, or it should terminate with
> an error. In either case it should report that there is a cycle involving B
> and C.
