Cannot find a (Map) Key deserializer for type [simple type, class com.devonfw.tools.ide.version.VersionRange]

@aBega2000 could you have a look. For me this looks like the Jackson ObjectMapper is misconfigured here:
We need to implement a VersionRangeJsonDeserializer that can convert from String to VersionRange.
Otherwise the reading of the dependencies.json files seems broken.

Seems to only occur in native image build but not if executed in JVM.

Since I couldn't finish this issue before leaving, I am writingthis comment for the next person that is going to work on this issue.

The problem appears to be here :
https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/blob/main/cli/src/main/java/com/devonfw/tools/ide/url/model/file/UrlDependencyFile.java#L81C9-L83C10

And the solution will most probably be to make the program "understand" the VersionRange ( which is actually a class created from us, and not a native java class). So basically we need to implement a VersionRangeJsonDeserializer that can convert from String to VersionRange.

There is also this Json Guide that is helpful in this case: https://github.com/devonfw/devon4j/blob/master/documentation/guide-json.asciidoc
