Loop in Eclipse

If I open two Java projects in Eclipse that depend on each other, I have to add the dependencies between the two projects in the build path (Properties -> Java build path). This works great for one way, but why doesn't Eclipse let you install dependencies the other way around? The following error message appears:

Project cycle "A" was found in build path

and

Project cycle "B" was found in the build path

I know what is causing this error, but I am wondering why exactly this is not allowed. Thanks.

This type of circular link cannot be resolved. It takes B to start and B to A to start. But having loops between such projects is bad. If they both depend on each other, then they probably shouldn't be separate projects, as they can't be deployed separately anyway.

Well, if you need to have a loop, you can resolve it by changing from error to warning in Window-> Preferences-> Java-> Compiler-> Building-> Build path problems -> Circular dependencies.



But I still think this is a bad mood.

Changing the preference in Eclipse doesn't help in my case.

The best solution seems to be combining the two projects into one.
