cobertura-maven-plugin circular dependency?

[Simone Caronni <negativo17@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a Java package to be submitted for review for Fedora 17, 18 and 19/rawhide.

The project currently has cobertura-maven-plugin as a dependency. I've tried to rebuild version 2.5.2-2 which does not yet contain the new Java packaging guidelines.

By adding maven-checkstyle-plugin as a BuildRequires I can reach the point where all dependencies are met and the package can be built. However, it seems to have a dependency on itself:

[...]

Is it normal behaviour and I'm missing something (I'm rather new to this) or is it a bug?

Thanks,
