The docs at https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependency_Version_Requirement_Specification say:
1.0: "Soft" requirement on 1.0 (just a recommendation, if it matches all other ranges for the dependency) [1.0]: "Hard" requirement on 1.0 However, I don't think anywhere do we actually explain what a soft or a "Hard" requirement is. If someone can clarify this for me, I'll update the docs accordingly. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
