How would I use dependencies with mutliple versions

[Nick82285 3]

I am developing in eclipse and I have an external library that requires Java Native Access (JNA) version 5.2.0, however one of MinecraftForge's dependencies is JNA version 4.4.0. Is there any way to get these dependencies to play nice? I only have one class that actually uses this library so is there a way to force my compiled mod to use 5.2.0, by either embedding the dependency into the jar itself or something else?

 

I am running on 1.12.2 Forge Version 14.23.5.2768

Is there a version of this library that uses 4.4.0?

I am considering that, however previous versions, are buggy/makes my code messier. If there's no other way I could do that then I will revert back

What do you need the library for? What library is it?

VLCJ 4.2.0, VLCJ-Natives 4.1.0, JNA 5.2.0, JNA Platform 5.2.0, I just want a way to be able to use both at the same time preferably

 

Vlcj requires this library to create it's media player
