Version range of a dependency is not available if the dependency is found 
transitively.

                 Key: MNG-4138
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4138
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies
            Reporter: Paul Gier


The behaviour is like this:
If I have a pom with a single dependency with a version range like this.

{code:xml} 
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>[3.0, 3.8.2)</version>
    </dependency>
{code}

I can access the version range using the resolved dependency artifact.
{code:java} 
Set artifacts = project.getDependencyArtifacts();
artifact.getVersionRange();
{code} 

If the same dependency is picked up transitively from another dependency, for 
example junit is a trasitive dependency of maven-project:
{code:xml}
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-project</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.8</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>[3.0, 3.8.2)</version>
    </dependency>
{code}

Now the VersionRange object is returned, but it only contains the resolved 
version.  For example "3.8.1".
