Cycle in Eclipse
- by Sebi
If I open two Java projects in Eclipse which depend on each other, I have to add dependencies between these two projects in the Build Path (Properties - Java build path). This works fine for one way, but why doesn't allow Eclipse to set the dependencies vice versa? The following error message occurs:
A cycle was detected in the build path
of project 'A'
and
A cycle was detected in the build path
of project 'B'
I know what's causing this error but i wonder why exactly this isn't allowed. Thanks.
