>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Dependencies, Documentation:  General, POM
>    Affects Versions: 3.9.9, 4.0.0-rc-3
>            Reporter: Herve Boutemy
>            Assignee: Herve Boutemy
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 3.9.10, 4.0.0-rc-4

> currently, POM documentation says for dependency version https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.9.9/maven-model/maven.html#class_dependency
> "The version of the dependency, e.g. 3.2.1. In Maven 2, this can also be specified as a range of versions."
> users don't get that it is a version requirement only: the effective version will be resolved based on usage context, as explained more in details in https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Transitive_Dependencies
> it's long overdue to clarify at POM level
