It's not released anywhere but I could check with my boss to find out if we could contribute back to the community. But we're only talking about a few dozen lines of code, so you could probably figure it out. Look at the dependency plugin source to give you a hint on how to do it. BTW, we are also using this same plugin to detect version clashes (same dependency appears more than once with different versions). >> I don't think it is really possible to introduce a cycle when using >> releases, but it is definitely possible with snapshots (just follow >> the steps in the bug). > > I think we were able to introduce this bug by having > > Version 2 of Project A depending on version 1 of Project B which depends on > version 1 of Project A. Oh yes, of course. I'm not sure why I let myself be led to believe this could not happen with releases.
