Description _ hong_lin 2007-01-30 04:33:32 UTC

Build: Gavotte daily build 070125_12

Right now, cyclic reference is allowed:
After adding project B as project A's reference, user is able to add project A
as projects B's refernce. The cyclic reference issue will cause the build
process be endless later.

Please refer to java project behavior/dialog.  Make sure the selection of self
is also prevented.

Comment 2 bhate 2007-01-31 21:53:22 UTC

This is valid issue.
Added check to prevent cyclic dependency and self reference (similar to j2se
project)
