It must be exact in the sense that you can't just say 6.1 and expect to know 
that mean 6.1.x.

If you mean 6.1.x, I believe you have to specify a range - something like

 <version>[6.1.0,)</version>

(actually, this really say version greater than 6.1.0, so 7.0.x would be 
included)

Subject: Re: RC4 dist. refers to nonexistent Jetty version

Hello Mikkel,

do you confirm that the POM file must reference an exact version of Jetty?
Actually, we were not sure about the way Maven manage versions. We hoped a kind 
of behaviour which allows to provide only a minor version (e.g. 
6.1)...
If it's not the case, the pom file will be updated with the latest release of 
Jetty.

Best regards,
Thierry Boileau
