Conflict managers ignored, when assigned to modules in Ivy configuration 
(setting, ivyconf.xml)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-448
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
            Reporter: John Rasmussen
            Priority: Minor


Only conflict managers assigned in the module description (ivy.xml) are used.
Conflict managers assigned in the ivy configuration (setting, ivyconf.xml) are 
ignored.

See 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ivy/core/trunk/src/java/org/apache/ivy/core/resolve/IvyNode.java
    public ConflictManager getConflictManager(ModuleId mid) {
        if (_md == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("impossible to get conflict manager 
when data has not been loaded");
        }
        ConflictManager cm = _md.getConflictManager(mid);
        return cm == null ? _settings.getDefaultConflictManager() : cm;
    }

If no matching conflict manager is found in the module description then the 
default conflict manager is returned.
I suppose the last line should be:
        return cm == null ? _data.getIvy().getConflictManager(mid) : cm;
This will also return the default conflict manager if no matching conflict 
managers are found in the ivy configuration.

Please note (for source base 1.4.1):
Ivy.getConflictManager(ModuleId) is the only method to call
Ivy.getConflictManager(String) which is the only method to access 
_conflictsManager.
Thus conflict managers assigned in ivyconf.xml cannot be accessed in source 
base 1.4.1.

The Ivy configuration (setting) is as follows (parts are removed)
<ivyconf>
    <typedef name="my-latest-strategy" classname="..."/>
    <latest-strategies>
        <my-latest-strategy/>
    </latest-strategies>
    <conflict-managers>
        <latest-cm name="my-latest-strategy" latest="my-latest-strategy"/>
    </conflict-managers>
    <modules>
        <module organisation="my-org" name=".*" resolver="..." 
conflict-manager="my-latest-strategy"/>
    </modules>
</ivyconf>

Also:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ivy/core/trunk/src/java/org/apache/ivy/plugins/conflict/LatestConflictManager.java
The method toString() can return null. This is seen when the conflict manager 
is assigned as the default conflict manager in the debug output.
I suppose the method should be:
    public String toString() {
        return String.valueOf(getStrategy());
    }
