I believe your cases do not work with version ranges. Version ranges depend
on the order of the versions, and thus you cannot filter "-guava".
The ordering of version is defined in
org.eclipse.aether.util.version.GenericVersion in maven-resolver-util.
Example code to check:
// GenericVersionScheme is in
org.apache.maven.resolver:maven-resolver-util:1.3.3
GenericVersionScheme scheme = new GenericVersionScheme();
List<Version> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("4.7.0"));
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("4.99999.0"));
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("5"));
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("5.0.0"));
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("5.0.0-RC1"));
list.add(scheme.parseVersion("5.0.0-SNAPSHOT"));
Collections.sort(list);
System.out.println(list); // [4.7.0, 4.99999.0, 5.0.0-RC1,
5.0.0-SNAPSHOT, 5, 5.0.0]
So version "5.0.0-RC1" is smaller than version "5"; you can use [4.7.0,
4.9999999]".
