A cycle was detected in the build path of project xxx - Build Path Problem

java eclipse maven-2 osgi bundle

I'm in the process of converting my projects to OSGI bundles using maven and eclipse. Maven builds the stuff just fine, only I get the above error now within Eclipse. How can I find out which project causes this? Is there a special view or something? How can this happen, I would expect that maven can detect cyclic dependencies as well?

Update

Ok, I found something here and here

Could this be caused by the felix maven-bundle-plugin which does for each export also an import?

Mark circular dependencies as "Warning" in Eclipse tool to avoid "A CYCLE WAS DETECTED IN THE BUILD PATH" error.

In Eclipse go to:

Windows -> Preferences -> Java-> Compiler -> Building -> Circular Dependencies
