Hi Oleg:

Simple tests show that maven will accept such a project without any errors or even warnings, but I would like to know whether this kind of circular "parent"-"aggregator" dependency is bad.
Any opinions why this should not be done?

Not when it comes to the build itself, not. When it comes to site generation, however, expect "inconsistencies" between the modules menu and the breadcrumbs. The former will show the parent as a module of the aggregator while the latter will show a trail like parent > aggregator. While technically correct (from a Maven point of view), this is probably something your site's users won't expect. (I have raised an issue about this: <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-582>.)

Just something to keep in mind.

Andreas
