The question I asked myself was "Why is the '[...]' notation important?". So I went to Better Builds with Maven (pdf) and found this in section 3.6: > When a version is declared as 1.1, as shown above for plexus-utils, this > indicates that the > preferred version of the dependency is 1.1, but that other versions may be > acceptable. > Combiningg Wayne's helpful contribution with the above, I understand why. Without the [...] notation, maven is free to choose whatever version. With the [...] notation, maven is bound to that version (or versions, if the [...] specifies a range).
