Selenium dependency boundaries not working with Maven

[Hi-Fi]

Description

While trying to create jar with dependencies with Selenium2library-java (https://github.com/Hi-Fi/robotframework-selenium2library-java/tree/Selenium3.5.2) with maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.0, error is thrown because of identical boundaries in Selenium version.

Environment

• io.appium:java-client:jar:5.0.1
• Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
• Maven version: 3.5.0
• Java version: 1.8.0_144, vendor: Oracle Corporation

Details

Error message from Maven:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.0:single (make-assembly) on project robotframework-selenium2library-java: Failed to create assembly: Unable to resolve dependencies for assembly 'jar-with-dependencies': Failed to resolve dependencies for assembly: Unable to get dependency information for io.appium:java-client:jar:5.0.1: Invalid version for dependency org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:jar: Range cannot have identical boundaries: [3.5.2,3.5.2]
[ERROR]   io.appium:java-client:jar:5.0.1

Way To Reproduce Issue

Can be seen by executing mvn clean verify with code from https://github.com/Hi-Fi/robotframework-selenium2library-java/tree/Selenium3.5.2

@TikhomirovSergey FYI

@Hi-Fi @mykola-mokhnach Yes. I am taking this issue. As we found the rootcause of many issues (#714) I will return the version number to its normal form (3.5.3 or another higher number) in 5.0.3

This is what I have found on this topic so far:
http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Translating-Ivy-dep-version-syntax-to-Maven-in-POM-generation-td5712755.html

Probably, we can use https://github.com/nebula-plugins/nebula-publishing-plugin, which can properly publish version ranges into Maven pom files.

@mykola-mokhnach Ok. Will try the nebula plugin. Thank you.
