Version ranges are generally a bad idea.
What is the point of allowing an older version of shade? Are there bugs
that have been fixed in newer version that you depend on? But then why
would you want Maven to pick a newer one.
Why not pick one that works with your version of Maven and stick with it?
You can also omit the version and let Maven pick one but this is not
recommended.
We specify a version in the dependencyManagement section of the parent
and are sure that every build uses the right version.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30571/how-do-i-tell-maven-to-use-the-latest-version-of-a-dependency
is a nice discussion of version ranges.
It shows that your syntax should work.
It appears that maven is having trouble recognizing the "[" as the start
of a version. Is it possible that there is a character (space or
non-printing) before the "[".

I am trying to specify a version range in a pom.xml in order to support our
build by doing the following:
<plugin>
<groupId> org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId> maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>[2.0, )</version>
</plugin>
And I am getting this error:
[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:[2.0,) or one of its

-> [Help 1]
According to the examples and documentation I have seen, this should work.
Any idea?
