I just came across an interesting issue. I have a master pom with 40 or so sub
projects depending on it, the pom itself was using a plugin which in turn
depended on it. So these two were constantly rebuilding them self because of a
dependency change detection.
Since this was the master pom the entire project groups (40+ projects) were
building all the time.
Is there a way for continuum to detect circular references?

We have a similar condition with the Maven plugins. The all have the
same parent which uses several reporting plugins...
We have solved this by adding a "reporting" profile. The circular
references are put into the profile. They are only ever called if you
specify 'mvn -Preporting ...' on the command line.
