Description robert t bauer CLA 2005-01-31 19:56:00 EST 
I created two plugins: A, and B.  A used objects and methods from B and B used 
objects and methods from A.  During compilation, I did not receive any errors 
that a cycle had been formed; however, my code did not compile and I was able 
to determine that I had a circle of dependencies and that eclipse's behavior 
in this regard was quite unpredictable.

Can you provide more details? See also:

Please provide exact steps to reproduce, and then reopen.

First thing to check is whether you enable cycle building:

Close at there's more than 4 months without any feedback on this issue
=> consider it does no longer happen
Comment 5 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:07:02 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
