Romain, this literally means "all conflicts must be solved by the integrator, and the tool must not have automatic conflict resolution". It implies Maven should stop doing its "nearest wins" conflict resolution and defer to the integrator to resolve the conflicts. If you think Maven should drop automatic conflict resolution, go ahead, and suggest your proposals on a different thread please. In this thread I suggest improvements to the **existing** **automatic** conflict resolution to make it even better for the end-users. Vladimir
