No, I'm not too familiar with Maven myself. >From being forced to use Gradle, that seems to support ranges but it does so in the awful way where it bumps you up to the highest one even if it conflicts. The OSGi runtime is the only version resolution stuff I have seen working sanely, but I don't know what people in that space are doing about compile-time. Of course, the other problem with all this is getting libraries to specify their versions accurately. Far too many have a single static version specified. Almost no libraries we depend on for the application at work have done so. :/ TX
