Description

**[Simon](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sbernard)** opened **[MDEP-828](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-828?redirect=false)** and commented

The idea is to add an option (e.g. {**}rangeVersionOnly{**}) to be able to list dependencies which are "version range" only.

More details about why this could be useful is described at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-811

 

(This idea was also initiated by this conversation : https://stackoverflow.com/a/73069734/5088764)

Research direction

Start by reading MDEP-828 and the rationale linked from MDEP-811, then inspect the Maven Dependency Plugin's dependency-listing behavior. Done means the new rangeVersionOnly option can list dependencies that use version ranges only, with behavior verified against the plugin's existing checks.
