Hibernate validation can't find provider

I'm trying to use the Hibernate validator, with Java 11 (no Spring or Springboot), but it can't seem to find the proper combination of dependencies. I have the following dependencies

        <dependency>
            <groupId>jakarta.validation</groupId>
            <artifactId>jakarta.validation-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.2</version>
        </dependency

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
            <version>8.0.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.expressly</groupId>
            <artifactId>expressly</artifactId>
            <version>5.0.0</version>
        </dependency>

I get this error:

Caused by: javax.validation.NoProviderFoundException: Unable to create a Configuration, because no Bean Validation provider could be found. Add a provider like Hibernate Validator (RI) to your classpath.

I can't seem to find the right combination that works

The code I'm using is

Validator VALIDATOR = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> constraintViolations = VALIDATOR.validate(object);

Update

Here's evertyhing I've tried. I've pretty much thrown the kitchen sink in there and just keep getting the same error

        <dependency>
            <groupId>jakarta.validation</groupId>
            <artifactId>jakarta.validation-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.2</version>
        </dependency>

            <groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
            <version>8.0.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>

Hibernate Validator 8 is based on Jakarta. this means that if you want to use it you should add

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>

instead of

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.1.Final</version>
dependency>

if you want to use the javax classes then you need to go with latest 6.2 version of hibernate validator

see here for 8.0 documentation - https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/validator/reference/en-US/html_single/#validator-gettingstarted-createproject

hibernate-validator has been moved to group org.hibernate.validator

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate.validator/hibernate-validator -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
