Hi All,
I am a new user to eclipse ide.
When i try to compile my project, i get error saying that a cycle was
detected in the classpath and the project was not built to classpath
errors.

I searched in google and it directed me to the following link.
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools/msg62044 .html

Also, i came across a ibm developer works article.
The link is
http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/library/techarticles/0303 _searle/searle.html
Accordingly, I even changed the build order in the window-->
preferences-->build order.

It didn't work.

Please direct me and clarify me in this regard.
Do i need to provide further info?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Janarthanan Kesavan.

A cycle means you have two projects which depend on each other. It may
not be direct to each, but somewhere along the requirements chain two
projects point both directions to each other. By default this is
considered an error. It should be avoided whenever possible.

However, if you must have this condition, then you would go to
Window->Preferences->Java->Code Generation and one of the tabs has a
combobox that is labeled something about circular dependencies. You
would change the combo box from Error to Warning.
