Description

NPanday does not seem to support Maven's Dependency Version Ranges.

I am attempting to figure out a way in my POM file to retrieve the latest version of a dependency in our repository.

My POM has the following:
....
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>projectgroupid</groupId>
<artifactId>Exceptions</artifactId>
<version>0.0.0.1</version>
<type>dotnet-library</type>
</dependency>
....

what I was trying to accomplish is either:
....
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>projectgroupid</groupId>
<artifactId>Exceptions</artifactId>
<version>0.0.0.1</version>
<type>dotnet-library</type>
</dependency>
....

of

....
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>projectgroupid</groupId>
<artifactId>Exceptions</artifactId>
<version>[0.0.0,)</version>
<type>dotnet-library</type>
</dependency>
....

Neither of which works. Is there somewhere in the documentation I am missing this information from?
