"A cycle was detected" where no cycle can be found
--------------------------------------------------

         Key: MAVEN-1751
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1751
     Project: Maven
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 1.1-beta-2    
 Environment: SUSE Linux 10.0 (kernel 2.6.13-15-smp), J2SDK 1.4.2_10
    Reporter: Anders Heintz
 Attachments: proj1_dependencies.xml, proj2_dependencies.xml, 
proj3_dependencies.xml

I have a quite large multiproject project which I fail to build using Maven 
1.1beta2 (Maven 1.0.2 works fine). I "divided and conquered" a bit and excluded 
all but the most basic project, then added one at a time. When I included my 
third project, the build fails with the message "A cycle was detected". The 
dependencies for these tree projects (except external dependencies) are:

Project 1 depends on Project 2 and Project 3. Project 2 depends on Project 3.

Project 3 is a base "project" which contains common services and are used by 
all other projects.

I'll attach the dependencies part of the three subprojects.

When I run the same goal (any multiproject goal, for example 'maven 
-Dgoal=clean multiproject:goal') using Maven 1.0.2 it works fine:
Starting the reactor...
Our processing order:
webSelect Project 3
webSelect Project 2
webSelect Project 1

When I tried commenting out all dependencies apart from the project mentioned 
above, it still fails, it even fails when I remove Project 1's dependency to 
Project 3. 

What is even more confusing is when I replace Project 1 with another subproject 
which have the same dependencies it works fine (which however, is a ejb project 
instead of being a jar project which Project 1 is).
