Does Gradle expose a util for checking if a version range is 1. valid, and 2. contains a given version

<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_versions.html>

Gradle doesn't expose anything publicly but if they're Maven versions then you could use Maven's `org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.VersionRange`

That wouldn't work. Gradle has different ordering rules, so just because a version is in a given range in Maven's opinion it is not necessarily in Gradle's and vice versa.

I guess you would need to put the file with the version to investigate in a directory, define a `flatDir` repo on that directory and resolve the dependency with range on that. Them you can check whether it resolves or not.

I suppose you could copy the logic of
