- The version of the dependency, e.g. <code>3.2.1</code>. In Maven
2, this can also be
- specified as a range of versions.
+ The version requirement of the dependency, e.g. <code>3.2.1</code>
for soft version requirement: the effective version will be resolved based on
the usage context.
+ In Maven 2, version requirement can also be specified as a range
of versions, e.g. <code>[3.2.0,)</code>: notice this is discouraged, as it may
break <i>predictability</i> of resolved version.
+ See <a href="https://s.apache.org/dependendy-version";>dependency
version requirement documentation</a>
+ and <a
href="https://s.apache.org/transitive-dependencies-resolution";>transitive
