Description

When a hard version requirement (Ex - [1.0]) is passed to VersionRange#createFromVersionSpec(String), it is parsed to [1.0, 1.0]. But, this version range is invalid according to this exception. If the parsed version range ([1.0, 1.0]) is converted to a String, it cannot be parsed once again by VersionRange#createFromVersionSpec(String).

Steps to reproduce -

VersionRange versionRange = VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec("[1.0]"); // [1.0, 1.0]
String stringVersionRange = VersionRange.toString(versionRange); // "[1.0, 1.0]"
VersionRange exceptionVersionRange = VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec(stringVersionRange); // <- InvalidVersionSpecificationException( "Range cannot have identical boundaries: [1.0, 1.0]" )
