| <anchor id="topictop"></anchor><p>A cyclical dependency between two or more |
| modules in an enterprise application most commonly occurs when projects are |
| imported from outside the Workbench. When a cycle exists between two or more |
| modules in an enterprise application, the Java™ builder cannot accurately compute the |
| build order of the projects. Full builds fail under these conditions, or require |
| several invocations.</p> |
| |
| <p>Therefore, the best practice is to componentize your projects or modules. |
| This allows you to have your module dependencies function as a tree instead |
| of a cycle diagram. This practice has the added benefit of producing a better |
| factored and layered application.</p> |
