For example, if I want to depend on the latest version of the artifact un the
1.1.x version range, I would put:
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>[1.1,1.1.999999999]
</dependency>
This says give me the latest version whose number is greater than or equal to
1.1 and less than or equal to 1.1. 999999999 (where I randomly chose 999999999
to be greater than any incremental version I will ever create.
This version range can also be written [1.1, 1.2) where the close parent
indicates a non-inclusive range end (i.e., less than 1.2). The thing to be
aware of with this syntax is that it also includes any pre-release versions of
1.2 (e.g., 1.2-alpha-1 is included). For more information, please see section
3.4.3 of
http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/pom-relationships-sect-project-dependencies.html
and http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/versionRanges.html

Can you give me an example of using a range in the pom file as a dependency ?

The other way is to use a version range in your dependency, which gives you a
similar behavior as using a snapshot dependency. Both approaches have their
advantages and drawbacks...

The simplest way is simply to use a snapshot version of A. That way B will
always use the latest snapshot. When you finally release A, you can have B
point to the released version instead of the snapshot.
