You have a dependency cycle here - annotations needs validator, but validator (it's tests at least) cannot be compiled without annotations... I can probably solve this by putting a compiled annotations on the classpath of validator but that is so yucky! :( /max > jpa > lib (jboss-archive-browser) > compile depends on jpa-api, validator, commons-annotations, > annotations, core > compiletest depends on nothing more > > > Dependencies are managed by the building system automatically.
