Couldn't understand managed version under Maven dependency hierarchy

In my pom.xml, I have a SikuliX Jar which has a transitive dependency on jna-platform. As seen in below image, version 4.5.2 has overrided version 5.4.0. But i dont understand, how this version is overrided as i have not specified any dependency for jna-platform. I had also verified that no any there dependency is fetching this jar.

Please help me understand why this is happening. Any detailed document is well appreciated.

Related dependencies:-

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sikulix</groupId>
        <artifactId>sikulixapi</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.4</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>net.java.dev.jna</groupId>
                <artifactId>jna</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

Thanks

Since you were using spring boot, as suggested here (there's also the reason of this behaviour):

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jna/platform/win32/SspiUtil$ManagedSecBufferDesc #882

you can change your order of dependencies, or specify the exact version, like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.java.dev.jna</groupId>
    <artifactId>jna-platform</artifactId>
    <version>5.4.0</version>
</dependency>

or add this property:

<jna.version>5.4.0</jna.version>
