Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6791:
--------------------------------------------
If there's a way to closet this issue I don't see it. Maybe I don't have
permissions to do that? If so, can someone else please resolve this?
> document hard and soft requirements
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6791
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6791
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation: General
> Affects Versions: 3.6.2, 3.6.3
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
