circular dependency between jars (correction)

[DinkyToy]

sorry correction:


If you have to following case:

2 soon to be compiled jars:

here.jar:
org.here.SomeInterFaceA
org.here.impl.SomeImplementationA implements org.here.SomeInterFaceA
and imports org.there.SomeInterFaceB

there.jar:
org.there.SomeInterFaceB
org.there.impl.SomeImplementationB implements
org.there.SomeInterFaceB
and imports org.there.SomeInterFaceA

Is it possible to compile this stuff, or must the interfaces go
outside the two jars?

What gets placed in a JAR file has nothing to do with compilation. You
can compile the classes together, then build the two JAR files containing
the classes (interfaces) that you want them to contain.

That said, I wonder about why you want to do this. You will not be able
to use either JAR file without the other, so why make two separate JARs?
