Description

Since I upgraded maven to 2.0.9, I get messages like the following endlessly:

Downloading: http://m-m-m.sourceforge.net/repository/net/sf/m-m-m/mmm-util-core/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/mmm-util-core-1.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
[WARNING] The dependency: net.sf.m-m-m:mmm-util-core:jar:1.0.2-SNAPSHOT can't be resolved but has been found in the reactor.
This dependency has been excluded from the plugin execution. You should rerun this mojo after executing mvn install.

This also happens, if someone checks out the project and does "mvn eclipse:eclipse". The process still works but takes extraordinary long to proceed because it scales about n^2 with n beiing the number of modules in your reactor.
You should also take into account that "mvn install" aborts if some tests fail.
Sorry to say so, but this behaviour of maven is absolutely inacceptable. I hope there is a chance to fix this in the next release(s). Thanks!
