Class VersionRange

  • public class VersionRange
extends java.lang.Object
    Version range. A version range is an interval describing a set of versions.

    A range has a left (lower) endpoint and a right (upper) endpoint. Each endpoint can be open (excluded from the set) or closed (included in the set).

    VersionRange objects are immutable.

      • VersionRange

        public VersionRange​(java.lang.String range)
        Creates a version range from the specified string.

        Version range string grammar: 

         range ::= interval | atleast
 interval ::= ( '[' | '(' ) left ',' right ( ']' | ')' )
 left ::= version
 right ::= version
 atleast ::= version
        Parameters:
        range - String representation of the version range. The versions in the range must contain no whitespace. Other whitespace in the range string is ignored. Must not be null.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If range is improperly formatted.

        public boolean includes​(Version version)
        Returns whether this version range includes the specified version.
        Parameters:
        version - The version to test for inclusion in this version range.
