public String getName()

handleAllBlacklistedRevisions

public void handleAllBlacklistedRevisions(DependencyDescriptor dd, Collection foundBlacklisted)
Method called when all revisions available for a version constraint have been blacklisted, and thus the dependency can't be resolved.

This will never happen if the conflict manager doesn't blacklist any module, so providing an empty implementation in this case is fine.

Parameters: dd the dependency descriptor for which all revisions are blacklisted. foundBlacklisted the list of all ModuleRevisionId found which are blacklisted

Resolves the eventual conflicts found in the given collection of IvyNode. This method return a Collection of IvyNode which have not been evicted. The given conflicts Collection contains at least one IvyNode. This method can be called with IvyNodes which are not yet loaded. If this conflict manager is not able to resolve conflicts with the current data found in the IvyNodes and need them to be fully loaded, it will return null to indicate that no conflict resolution has been done.

Parameters: parent the ivy node parent for which the conflict is to be resolved conflicts the collection of IvyNode to check for conflicts

Returns: a Collection of IvyNode which have not been evicted, or null if conflict management resolution is not possible yet
