  - resolveVersionRange
```
VersionRangeResult resolveVersionRange(RepositorySystemSession session,
                                       VersionRangeRequest request)
                                throws VersionRangeResolutionException
```
    Expands a version range to a list of matching versions, in ascending order. For example, resolves "[3.8,4.0)" to "3.8", "3.8.1", "3.8.2". The returned list of versions is only dependent on the configured repositories and their contents, the list is not processed by the session's version filter.
    The supplied request may also refer to a single concrete version rather than a version range. In this case though, the result contains simply the (parsed) input version, regardless of the repositories and their contents.
    
    Parameters:
    
    session - The repository session, must not be null.
    
    request - The version range request, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The version range result, never null.
    
    Throws:
    
    VersionRangeResolutionException - If the requested range could not be parsed. Note that an empty range does not raise an exception.
