Since jersey-bean-validation has changed from jakarta.el to expressly (see PR here) the exclusion of jakarta.el seems redundant and should probably either be changed or removed:

It's the underlying implementation that has changed but the dependency on the API remains. We exclude it as we want org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-el, a dependency through spring-boot-starter-validation, to be used instead.
