I was merging the branch that removed / consolidated bunch of duplicate JSP files (corporate-ui-cleanup).

In the meantime in master, some minor UI changes were made to these files whose content was now elsewhere.

Quick trick how to resolve it fast:

git diff master~13:cineplex/j2ee-apps/cineplex.ear/b2b.war/profile/gadgets/applicationReview_content.jsp master:cineplex/j2ee-apps/cineplex.ear/b2b.war/profile/gadgets/applicationReview_content.jsp
  • Save the diff to file
  • open the new location
  • find “shared” part from the diff
  • paste changed parts

To resolve the merge, one must remove the file and add the change in new file
