`netty-tcnative-boringssl-static` with `linux-x86_64` classifier still pulls in other platform dependencies(2.0.72.Final)

[leonchen83]

We are trying to depend only on the linux-x86_64 variant of netty-tcnative-boringssl-static (version 2.0.72.Final). Our pom.xml is configured like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.netty</groupId>
    <artifactId>netty-tcnative-boringssl-static</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.72.Final</version>
    <classifier>linux-x86_64</classifier>
</dependency>

However, when we run mvn dependency:tree, we still see that dependencies for other platforms are being pulled in:

[INFO] |  |  +- io.netty:netty-tcnative-boringssl-static:jar:linux-x86_64:2.0.72.Final:runtime
[INFO] |  |  |  +- io.netty:netty-tcnative-classes:jar:2.0.72.Final:runtime
[INFO] |  |  |  +- io.netty:netty-tcnative-boringssl-static:jar:linux-aarch_64:2.0.72.Final:runtime
[INFO] |  |  |  +- io.netty:netty-tcnative-boringssl-static:jar:osx-x86_64:2.0.72.Final:runtime
[INFO] |  |  |  +- io.netty:netty-tcnative-boringssl-static:jar:osx-aarch_64:2.0.72.Final:runtime
[INFO] |  |  |  \- io.netty:netty-tcnative-boringssl-static:jar:windows-x86_64:2.0.72.Final:runtime

We were expecting only the linux-x86_64 JAR to be included.

Is this the intended behavior due to how netty-tcnative-classes handles multi-platform resolution?
Is there a way to exclude all other platforms when only one is required?

Any clarification or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

#852 I reported same here too. Seems to be ignored

I am having a similar issue when buidling my clojure project. (io.netty/netty-tcnative-boringssl-static 2.0.65.Final). This is a sub-dependency for com.azure/azure-identity 1.13.2
