+=== Duplicate Finder
+
+Spring Cloud Build brings along the  `basepom:duplicate-finder-maven-plugin`, that enables flagging duplicate and conflicting classes and resources on the java classpath.
+
+==== Duplicate Finder configuration
+
+Duplicate finder is *enabled by default* and will run in the `verify` phase of your Maven build, but it will only take effect in your project if you add the `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin` to the `build` section of the projecst's `pom.xml`.

+        </plugin>
+    </plugins>
+</build>

+
+For other properties, we have set defaults as listed in the https://github.com/basepom/duplicate-finder-maven-plugin/wiki[plugin documentation].
+
+You can easily override them but setting the value of the selected property prefixed with `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin`. For example, set `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin.skip` to `true` in order to skip duplicates check in your build.
+
+If you need to add `ignoredClassPatterns` or `ignoredResourcePatterns` to your setup, make sure to add them in the plugin configuration section of your project:

 == Flattening the POMs
 
 To avoid propagating build setup that is required to build a Spring Cloud project, we're using the maven flatten plugin. It has the advantage of letting you use whatever features you need while publishing "clean" pom to the repository.
