Description

Github Action of Java Wordcount Dataflow failure since this update:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/home/runner/work/beam/beam/runners/google-cloud-dataflow-java/build.gradle' line: 47

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':runners:google-cloud-dataflow-java'.
> Circular referencing during evaluation for project ':examples:java'.}}

By setting manual print statements, found the error happens when evaluating :runnders:google-cloud-dataflow-java at

runners/google-cloud-dataflow-java/build.gradle L47:
evaluationDependsOn(":examples:java")
examples/java/build.gradle L32:
enableJavaPerformanceTesting()
beam/buildSrc/src/main/groovy/org/apache/beam/gradle/BeamModulePlugin.groovy::BeamModulePlugin.apply() L1790:
project.evaluationDependsOn(":runners:google-cloud-dataflow-java:worker:legacy-worker")

circular happens here.

It seems that Gradle somehow detects this as a circular dependency, which should not been so. Probably a Gradle bug.
