Bug 21952

Description Jim Thorpe 2002-07-26 10:19:28 EDT

Circular dependency error msg should be a warning msg if preference is not 
checked

1) Go to the preference settings and locate the "java compiler" preferences.
2) There is a tab labeled "other" which has a checkbox "Stop building when
an invalid classpath is detected." 

If this checkbox is not checked, projects will attempt to build/compile even
with a circular dependency.  

   However, the message "A cycle was detected in the projects classpath" 
is showing up in the task list as an error message (red X).  We feel it should 
really be a
warning message in this case.  There is no way to remove this message from 
the task list (short of removing the circular dependency itself).

We have circular dependencies that we can't get rid of.  Having a error 
message (red X) show up that we can never remove is undesirable. 

One further comment about circular dependencies:  We're looking at what we can 
do to resolve them but it is not something that can be resolved quickly.  We 
have numerous (20+)  EJB projects containing numerous (Can't remember how many) 
EJBs.
