Description

I'm trying to retrieve the single dependency selenium-server from maven-central, using the default conflict manager "latest-compatible".

This leads to an error because "xml-apis" is referenced in two different versions. Setting the default resolver to latest-revision indeed fixes this.

I do not want to change the entire build to latest-revision though, so I'd like use the "conflict" tag in ivy.xml:

<conflict manager="latest-revision"/>

(ideally even with org and module set).

Alas, this doesn't work. It will use the default conflict manager anyway, ignoring the latest-revision manager altogether.
