Jetbrains xodus broken dependencies - xodus

Question

Recently, I faced with some build errors in my project which is using JetBrains/xodus v1.2.3. In project's pom.xml I have such dependecy
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.xodus</groupId>
<artifactId>xodus-environment</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
But during build process I've faced with such error:
[ERROR] Version conflict for artifact org.jetbrains:annotations, selected 13.0, dependencies require 15.0
So I've checked dependency tree in IDEA. I was wondered to see such dependency tree
As you can see library org.jetbrains.xodus:xodus-environment has several dependencies on org.jetbrains:annotations first one is 13.0 and another one is 15.0.
So I solved problem with such configuration
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-stdlib</artifactId>
<version>1.2.51</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.jetbrains</groupId>
<artifactId>annotations</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.xodus</groupId>
<artifactId>xodus-environment</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-stdlib</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
But I think there is better way to solve this problem or maybe it is bug in xodus library
