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 -

For Spring Module, When I reload all maven projects from IntelliJ, it successfully resolve all dependencies but for SpringBootLocalstack if I remove "version" tag from pom file it failed to resolve, Example:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-java-sdk-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
I am getting:
Cannot resolve com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-core:unknown
I don't want to mention any specific version here. Now my questions are:
why sometimes maven can resolve dependencies like the above "Spring" Module and sometimes can't?(SpringBootLocalstack module where I didn't mention version no)
How can we achieve compatibility safety for our maven dependencies? Is there any plugin (already tried dependency analyzer and version maven plugin but no luck)
How can we upgrade our old project to new maven dependencies without breaking the existing project feature?
Thanks in advance.

You have declared 'org.springframework.boot' as the parent module of both modules. So if some jars and artifacts like 'com.amazonaws' do not exist in 'org.springframework.boot', they won't be resolved in your project. These dependencies are not announced in 'Spring' module in your project and whatever you have declared in it, can be found in 'org.springframework.boot', then resolved. If you do not declare a 'version' tag in your pom, I guess the version of the parent (here 2.6.1) will be considered for your module version.

I think BOM (Bill of Materials) may come into rescue. If we use BOM, we don't need to specify version numbers each time we add dependencies under same parent POM. For example:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk-bom -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-java-sdk-bom</artifactId>
<version>1.12.138</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

NoClassDefFoundError for org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFWorkbook

I've searched along foruns and even though there's a lot of issues regarding this same error, none of them actually helped me with solving this error.
I'm getting this error:
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFWorkbook
at org.apache.cxf.service.invoker.AbstractInvoker.createFault(AbstractInvoker.java:162)
at [internal classes]
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFWorkbook
at com.test.GetFromExcel.readXLSX(GetFromExcel.java:25)
... 1 more
[ERROR ] SRVE0315E: Ocorreu uma exceção: java.lang.Throwable: org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFWorkbook
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp.handleRequest(WebApp.java:4998)
I've tried removing .m2 folder and downloading dependencies again, still not a successfull atempt.
I've added the .jar files, as you can see in the image.
And I can see that same class the error is complaining about listed right where the path indicates in org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFWorkbook .
Not clear to me why the error is frequent if I can see the class in my project.
Project's pom.xml as requested.
Thing is I have 2 other projects where I use this library and they both never gave me any headache like this to make POI library works. I used the same configuration I used previously in those projects.

In my case I had to add the following dependencies in my pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi</artifactId>
<version>5.2.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

<version>1.0-2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
All those 4 libs with exact versions, including stax-api. It should be noted that I use Maven.
Hope it'll help someone (I literally spent hours to fix this problem).

After building the project i'm trying to run it with
java -jar my_app.jar --spring.config.location=file:./prop.properties --spring.config.name=prop
Which is not working my job is failing to pickup the properties defined that (code inside #Value not resolved)
Insinde of configuration class in the code i have static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer (maybe that it somehow relevant, but I doubt it..)
I am using windows 10, tried to execute from different shells (cmd and git bash)
What I'm missing here?

It turns out that spring.profiles=batch line inside property file somehow breaks that file resolution, commenting it out fixed the issue.
UPDATE
Actually, that was a typo :\

How to remove all the jars from a spring boot application using maven

I need to remove all the jars (the whole lib and lib-provided folders) from the war that I'm building using spring boot, since the web application will be deployed on Websphere, using commons shared libraries.
Is there any way to do that, since exclusions from the war plugin can't be used, and exclusions from the boot maven plugin are meant to be used punctual?

If you mean you want to exclude jars inside your-project.war/WEB-INF/lib, then you could try to use <scope>provided</scope>.
Example
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Final</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
This is example for you.
EDIT
By looking and test your pom.xml, you could remove these lines:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
With that, I can't see lib-provided directory anymore.
HTH.
