The new syntax is to associate a version range with the technology id in source and target.

For example, the target can be:

--target eap:[6.1,6.2]

The syntax supports the full maven version range syntax. If there is any overlap between the range specified by the user and the range specified by the rule, then the rule will match.

If a single version is specified, not as a version range, then [version] is assumed (example, "eap:6" is automatically translated to "eap:[6]"). Generally speaking, I expect that users will choose this simpler syntax.

Also, the former tag names are supported as well. If the user specifies "eap7" then this will be automatically transformed to "eap:7".
