Unused dependencies should not be imported in application classpath

I have created a sdk which acts a library to generate api testcases .
Whenever I add my java-sdk dependency in the pom.xml file of the client application, those dependencies which are not in the client's application and used by java-sdk to add support for but are not used internally get imported along .
For eg: my java-sdk uses ApacheClient, so it contains the ApacheClient dependency for intercepting. But if the client is not using this dependency, it should not appear in the application classpath but it does.
I have created a multi-module project to upload at maven central , the module where all other module acts as dependency looks like -

I am not able to resolve the error in Eclipse IDE

I am using latest dependencies from maven.

Using exactly the same pom file, I had no issues resolving the Rest Assured.
It must be something else. Network related issues.
Try purging the local maven repository:

I searched on the Internet but it seems like this error isn't common, and might be linked with dependencies' version ?
Thank you

Problem is mismatching Spring Boot (2.1.8.RELEASE) and Spring Core (5.0.12) versions. Core is 5.0.12, because it is transitive dependency of spring-beans 5.0.12.
DataSize is part Spring Core since 5.1. Boot version 2.1.x expects Core 5.1, as one can see from release notes. Exact version one can found from pom.xml.
One can of course define versions manually, but that is lot of works - especially when Spring Boot version changes:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>5.1.9.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Because it is rather tedious (though doable) to match versions manually, one should use spring-boot-dependencies in depencyManagement (link to documentation):
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>2.1.8.RELEASE</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
And remove version from dependencies such as spring-beans and spring-context etc.:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
</dependency>
Version should be defined (instead of inheriting from spring-boot-dependencies) only if there is valid reason to use some other version.

OpenShift build error : Unable to import child module class in parent module of multi module Maven Spring boot project

The parent pom of your Business Module is "Spring-Boot"? Is that correct? It should have been your " Parent" Module.

IntelliJ - package org.springframework.stereotype does not exist

I'm just starting to use IntelliJ and working on making a very simple "hello world" application. It looks like a very simple setup issue but I can't find a solution here that works.
Here's the pom.xml

Is it because I'm using ${springframework.version}? I've seen from some project that this works but not to be the case in my project. Do i need to define it somewhere?
Here's the screenshot of the error.

You need to define a property named springframework.version in your maven POM. Like this
<properties>
<springframework.version>4.3.11</springframework.version>
</properties>

The scope - runtime added for spring-context dependency was the issue in pom. Once removed(runtime attribute)and maven clean install builds successfully.
