Description

Following [API Support] Window Wizard Test specification, Create Top Component Window Test Case, the created TopComponent contains errors.

Trying to resolve the errors by adding the missing modules, the attached error is displayed.

It is very weird how this error appears. I started with a clean NB 9 beta (incubator) (i.e. clean cache, plugins, settings etc.). After having run the Ant-based NB Suite test specification, step 5 "Creating a New Window" was executed without any issues.

After finishing the Ant-based NB Suite test specification and started the [API Support] Window Wizard Test specification, this issue appeared. 

It could be that it works OK only the first time that a TopComponent is created, and after that the cyclic dependency issue appears. It could be that the issue appears after a module suite is created. 

In any case, the error should not be displayed as there are no cyclic dependencies with the remaining modules (that need to be added) with the three modules that were added to the project (Lookup API, Base Utilities API and Utilities API).
