- Method Detail
  - getMavenVersion
```
java.lang.String getMavenVersion()
```
    Retrieves the current Maven version, for example "3.0.2".
    
    Returns:
    
    The current Maven version or an empty string if unknown, never null.
  - isMavenVersion
```
boolean isMavenVersion(java.lang.String versionRange)
```
    Checks whether the current Maven runtime matches the specified version range. A version range can either use the usual mathematical syntax "[2.0.10,2.1.0),[3.0,)" or use a single version "2.2.1". The latter is a short form for "[2.2.1,)", i.e. denotes the minimum version required.
    
    Parameters:
    
    versionRange - The version range to match the current Maven runtime against, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the current Maven runtime matches the specified version range, false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the specified version range is null, empty or otherwise not a valid version specification.
