Can child modules be mutually dependent? [message #24347]

I have installed Maven in eclipse on Vista 64.

I have made a Maven Parent module that contains two child modules:

child1
child2

Currently child2 has child1 listed as a dependency which works fine.

But now I need to use code from child2 in child1. Its possible to add child1
as a dependency in child2. But I get red crosses on both child modules but
no error message.

Is it illegal to make two modules dependent on each other, and why don't I
get any error message?

Maven does not allow circular dependencies among projects.
