Matt Benson created MNG-5601:
--------------------------------
Summary: multimodule plugin configuration e.g. "build-tools"
pattern broken
Key: MNG-5601
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5601
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies, Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 3.2.1
Reporter: Matt Benson
The recommendation at
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html
breaks down in projects that use the pattern more than once, e.g. for
checkstyle/findbugs/PMD alike. I have boiled this down to a super-simple test
project that defines a build-tools module, and in separate profiles declares
each of these plugins with a dependency on that submodule. Activating any one
of these profiles and calling `mvn validate` works fine, but as soon as you
activate two or more of them the command fails with "The projects in the
reactor contain a cyclic reference".
