Unable to Save Resolved Conflicts in EGIT [message #1786284]

I am trying to merge a branch into my master for a Java project. I don't understand why there are conflicts but in any case I am in the Compare and Index view. I clicked the current change left to right icon. The supposedly modified source file (right side) is then moved from the unstaged to staged area automatically. However, the source icon still has the red X and that file is in both the staged and unstaged areas. When I look at the staged source it still has the same conflicts. What am I doing wrong?

As for the conflicts, they all seem to be the changes I made in the new branch. For example:

In master I have:

public double DOOROPENRATE=1.0;

In the branch I have:

public double DOOROPENRATE=.25;

That's not a conflict, that is a change I want to merge from the branch into the master. TIA.

You have to explicitly stage the changes from the working directory, if I'm reading this right. https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Adding_conflict_resolution_to_the_git_index

Thanks but that didn't help. I wound up manually editing the sources to get rid of the conflicts. I also saw that many added lines were missing as well. I royally screwed up something in the merge but I have no idea what. Hopefully if I delete the branch, future branches will work.

Git and also JGit generate conflict markers into the files having conflicts during a merge.
You can either open the file in the editor and edit it there or open merge tool from staging view and edit the left pane.
The merge tool has two modes which can be configured under Preferences > Team > Git > Merge - Merge Tool
- last HEAD (unmerged)
- workspace (pre-merged by git)
in the merge tool edit the left side until you have resolved the conflict.
Then mark the conflict resolved by adding (staging) the conflicting file. This is typically done in the
staging view.
