Thanks @vibhatha. I think what's important here is: - We do not want to _require_ Arrow Java developers use old, unpatched Maven versions. - We also do not necessarily want to require all Arrow Java environments (including our CI environments) to have the newest Maven version. (@lidavidm made this comment at https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/39371#issuecomment-1877090743) So how can we achieve that? Can we set minimum versions but allow environments to have newer versions? In a `pom.xml` file, does `<version>3.3.9</version>` mean that we require version 3.3.9 exactly, or version 3.3.9 or higher? (I think it means "or higher" but I'm seeing conflicting information about this.) Should we be using [version ranges](https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#A1000686) like `<version>[3.3.9,)</version>`? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
