A shift-reduce Conflict

If we enter the grammar
$\begin{program} Expression~~::=~Expression~PLUS~Expression \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;\end{program}$
without precedence JavaCUP will tell us:
$\begin{program} $*$$*$$*$~Shift/Reduce~conflict~found~in~state~\char93 4 \ ~~~~... ...ion~ \ ~~~~under~symbol~PLUS \ ~~~~Resolved~in~favor~of~shifting.\end{program}$

Telling JavaCUP that PLUS is left associative helps!
