possible to create an infinite loop in processing a POM
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2659
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2659
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Inheritence and Interpolation
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Brett Porter
If you define a property like this:
{code:xml}
<properties>
<http.port>${http.port}</http.port>
</properties>
{code}
The interpolator *correctly* identifies that this will cause a loop and throws
an Exception.
However, if you define it with some indirection, eg:
{code:xml}
<properties>
<http.port>${foo}</http.port>
<foo>${http.port}</foo>
</properties>
{code}
This causes an infinite loop, where it should be detected and the same
exception thrown as above.
