[I] Version matching is inverted in SelectJdkToolchainMojo.matches() for VERSION key [maven-toolchains-plugin]

elharo opened a new issue, #167:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-toolchains-plugin/issues/167

   ## Summary
   
   The  method in  passes arguments in the wrong order to . This means version constraints specified via  will not produce correct matching.
   
   ## Location
   
   
   
   https://github.com/apache/maven-toolchains-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/toolchain/jdk/SelectJdkToolchainMojo.java#L187-L191
   
   ## Code
   
   
   
   Here  is the toolchain's version value and  is the user's requirement (e.g., "[11,17)").
   
   ## Problem
   
   The standard Maven Toolchain API pattern (as used internally by ) is:
   1. Create a version range matcher from the **requirement** value
   2. Check if the **toolchain's provides** value is within that range
   
   This code does the opposite: it creates a version range from the toolchain's concrete version (which is a specific value, not a range) and checks if the requirement string is within it. The semantics are inverted.
   
   For example, with a toolchain version "11.0.1" and a requirement "[11,17)":
   - Expected: "11.0.1" is within range "[11,17)" -> match
   - Actual: creates range "11.0.1" (which is just the single version 11.0.1) and checks if "[11,17)" is within 11.0.1 -> likely no match
   
   ## Impact
   
   The  goal's  parameter will not correctly match JDK toolchains. Users specifying version ranges will get unexpected "Cannot find matching toolchain" failures.
   
   ## Suggested Fix
   
   Swap the arguments:
