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>

Maven: resolve versions with flatten without expanding the dependencies

I want to resolve all the revision tags after the build, so I'm using flatten. I have a multi module project like this:
A (root)
|_B (parent = A, dependencyManagement with version = ${revision}
|_C (parent = B, dependencies declared in dependencyManagement without specifying the version)
The problem is that in the flattened pom of B the ${revision} is not resolved. Moreover, in the flattened pom of C the version is still missing, whereas I'd expect to find the version declared in the dependencyManagement in B.
This is how I configured flatten:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<updatePomFile>true</updatePomFile>
<flattenMode>resolveCiFriendliesOnly</flattenMode>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>flatten</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>flatten</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>flatten.clean</id>
<phase>clean</phase>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I tried to add this section inside <configuration>:
<pomElements>
<dependencyManagement>expand</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>expand</dependencies>
</pomElements>
This partially solves the problem, because it resolves all the version, but the pom become way too verbose, because it expands all the dependencies of the parent. So the result is that the flattened pom of C explicitly contains all the dependencies declared in B e A, and the dependencyManagement of B.
Is there a way to just solve the versions without expanding all the dependencies in the child pom?

I solved this issue adding <flattenMode>bom</flattenMode> to <configuration> section in my module containing only dependencyManagement section.
According to Maven Flatten Plugin Documentation
Option bom is Like ossrh but additionally keeps dependencyManagement
and properties. Especially it will keep the dependencyManagement as-is
without resolving parent influences and import-scoped dependencies.
This is useful if your POM represents a BOM (Bill Of Material) and you
do not want to deploy it as is (to remove parent and resolve version
variables, etc.).
You can see an example below

Maven Project classes not compiling

I have a Maven Project which uses a Repast Simphony simulation. The goal is to display the simulation in the Browser which works fine. The simulation itself has been compiled beforehand and was working as intented. Now i want to change a function in one of the classes, but Eclipse wont take the change.
My Project is set up like this:
Project
-src/main/java <- My Rest Service
-src/main/resources <- My HTML, JS, CSS, etc
-repastSource <- My Repast simulation
-target <- Where the .class files land
-lib <- external .jars
In the repastSource folder there are many packages with .java-Files. These classes dont get compiled, as when i check the .class files in target they still have the old change date. I somehow compiled them once apparently, but I am not sure how I did this. I am quite new to Maven and appreciate any help.
When i run my projects with the goal of clean verify my repastSimulation .class files get deleted from the target-folder.
This is my pom.xml:

Thanks Daniele, that was my Mistake. Sometimes its easy like that :D

Driver class not found

I`m getting an error in my Maven mysql project in netbeans when I try and clean build. The error is:
Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:sql-maven-plugin:1.5:execute (default) on project utopiaDatabase: Driver class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
I looked around and figured this is probably because my project isn`t finding my mysql-connector-java, but I have it added as a dependency and everything in my POM file looks fine, do you know why it might not be finding it?

I have tried adding mysql-connector-java-5.1.6 as a dependency in my maven project manually also. Thanks in advance

If you look at the homepage of the sql-maven-plugin under "Usage" it clearly shows that you have to give your driver as a dependency to the sql-maven-plugin. You only gave it as a dependency of your project.
If your project needs that dependency as well or not is a different story.
