Maven versioning is similar to SemVer but also very different in places. It's specified by Maven itself.
Ranges are supported using Maven's special syntax.
For development purposes, download maven-artifact JAR and run:
$ java -jar maven-artifact-*.jar 3.2.4-alpha-1 3.2.4-SNAPSHOT 3.2.4.0
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
1. 3.2.4-alpha-1 == 3.2.4.alpha.1
3.2.4-alpha-1 < 3.2.4-SNAPSHOT
2. 3.2.4-SNAPSHOT == 3.2.4.snapshot
3.2.4-SNAPSHOT < 3.2.4.0
3. 3.2.4.0 == 3.2.4
