Abstract
Techniques for merging versions of an inclusion application that is incorporated in a master application are disclosed. One version of an application may be stored as an application that is incorporated into another application. An application that is incorporated into another application may be referred to as an “inclusion application.” An application incorporating another application may be referred to as a “master application.” Additionally, a different version of the application may be stored as an application that is executed independently, without reference to other applications. A merging engine applies a set of conflict resolution rules to the two versions of the application to obtain a merged version of the application. The merging engine incorporates the merged version of the application in the master application.
