A cycle was detected in the build path of project [message #293887]

I am creating a feature based on multiple plugins. These plugins of
course have dependencies on one another. The system tells me that a
cycle is detected in the build path of my project and that it cannot be
built. I have manually reviewed the plugin dependencies and see no
cycles. I have also used the "Look for cycles in the dependency graph"
tool availble from the plugin descriptor editor, which tells me that
there are NO cycles.

Does anyone have a similar experience? What techniques can I use to
track down the problem?

Thanks
Nick

I had the same problem, maybe it's a bug ...

Try Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Compiler --> Building
And set at Circular Dependencies to Warning or Ignore ;)

Stefan

The build order is computed using information on the project classpath.
I suggest selecting your project in the Package Explorer, and running
PDE Tools > Update classpath from the context menu. This should remove
any cycles from your build order, assuming there are no cycles in your
plugin dependencies.
