Description

Reading the guide https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/versionRanges.html I would expect a basic version string of 3.6.2 to be converted to [3.6.2,) but from the investigation below it seams to be converted to (,3.6.2].

e.g. documentation says minimum version but it appears to be maximum version.

I'm using maven wrapper so something like `mvn -N io.takari:maven:0.7.7:wrapper -Dmaven=3.6.3` to change version, then editing pom.xml version, then executing `./mvnw clean install` to see if the tests pass or fail.

I've tried 3.0.0-M3 and 3.0.0-M4-SNAPSHOT (master at 2020/02/10).
