I've got a situation where Maven is telling me I have a circular
dependency that should be resolved.
Let's say I've got applicationArtifact which provides an interface which
I want to consume at compile time in an artifact called pluginArtifact.
When applicationArtifact is ready to be packaged, I want to include
pluginArtifact in the libs as a runtime dependency.
ie.
<artifactId>applicationArtifact</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<artifactId>pluginArtifact</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<artifactId>pluginArtifact</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<artifactId>applicationArtifact</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope> <!-- such that we can use the common
interface -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Maven won't compile the above as it cites a circular dependency. This
should work because of the following valid order:
1) compile applicationArtifact (ignore pluginArtifact because it's
scoped at Runtime)
2) compile pluginArtifact (include a compile time reference to
applicationArtifact)
3) package applicationArtifact (which drags in pluginArtifact)
How should I solve this issue?
