Abstract
Customizations are applied to a software product by determining whether any of the customizations to be applied are in conflict with one another. If so, product dependency information, which identifies a product that the customizations are based on, is used to reduce a number of conflicting customizations to be made to the software product. Any remaining conflicts are resolved, and the customizations are applied.
