Would it be possible to allow projects to have circular dependencies? I am aware that in principle this is not a beautiful design and should be avoided. Nevertheless, the projects are part of a running system with a rather big complexity. Removing the dependencies would result in many man hours to correct this.

Currently we use variables pointing to the class folder of each project. But this approach results in eclipse not realizing that classes have been changed. Also we are not able to use the nice feature of pressing F3 and jumping to the source code to edit.

Another approach we tried was to create jar files and reference them in the classpath, but it has the same disadvantages of the previous approach, plus we have to regenerate the jars after changes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create projects with circular dependencies
