1.0	x >= 1.0 * The default Maven meaning for 1.0 is everything (,) but with 1.0 recommended. Obviously this doesn't work for enforcing versions here, so it has been redefined as a minimum version.
(,1.0]	x <= 1.0
(,1.0)	x < 1.0
[1.0]	x == 1.0
[1.0,)	x >= 1.0
(1.0,)	x > 1.0
(1.0,2.0)	1.0 < x < 2.0
[1.0,2.0]	1.0 <= x <= 2.0
(,1.0],[1.2,)	x <= 1.0 or x >= 1.2. Multiple sets are comma-separated
(,1.1),(1.1,)	x != 1.1
