Please forgive the tangent. Here's what the documentation has to say about "latest-compatible": this conflict manager selects the latest version in the conflicts which can result in a compatible set of dependencies. This means that in the end this conflict manager does not allow any conflict (like the strict conflict manager), except that it follows a best effort strategy to try to find a set of compatible modules (according to the version constraints)
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/settings/conflict-managers.html Can anyone out there articulate precisely what that means?
