[jira] [Created] (MNG-6791) document hard and soft requirements

Elliotte Rusty Harold created MNG-6791:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: 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


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.
