Personally I find it funny. To me this question of "circularity" is
exactly the same. Works great in the build in any and all ways, but
the IDEs have issue with it to varying degrees. Yet everyone wants to
change the circularity thing because of the IDE.
Speaking of which, HHH-8140 cannot happen at this time as I outlined in
my latest comment out there. We'll have to keep our eye on upcoming
Gradle releases to see when that planned solution is in place.

My intentions for working on the Eclipse generation was to make IDE setup as painless as possible. Is it important to have a well-developed build process? Of course. But it's also important to balance that with removing as many roadblocks as possible that might detract contributors.
