CDI with Weld in Java SE, jakarta namespace, NoSuchMethodError

Question

For a trivial app using CDI in Java SE with jakarta namespace I can not get rid of this NoSuchMethodError during SeContainerInitializer.newInstance().initialize():

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.Map org.jboss.jandex.ClassInfo.annotationsMap()'

I guess I'm missing dependencies. Shouldn't this be sufficient?

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.weld.se</groupId>
            <artifactId>weld-se-shaded</artifactId>
            <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>

beans.xml is in place at src/main/resources/META-INF

The solution that works for me is to exclude jandex from hibernate dependency and to add an individual jandex dependency to the project. Here is an excerpt from my pom.xml:

            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                <artifactId>hibernate-core-jakarta</artifactId>
                <version>5.6.14.Final</version>
                <exclusions>
                    <!-- without exclusion of jandex in hibernate a no such method error is raised -->
                    <!-- with    exclusion an explicit dependency to jandex is needed (see below)  -->
                    <!-- note that jandex is referenced with groupId io.smallrye actually          -->
                    <exclusion>
                        <groupId>org.jboss</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jandex</artifactId>
                    </exclusion>
                </exclusions>
            </dependency>
            <!-- individual dependency to jandex to accomplish necessary exclusion of jandex in -->
            <!-- hibernate-core-jakarta (see above)                                             -->
            <dependency>
                <groupId>io.smallrye</groupId>
                <artifactId>jandex</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.5</version>
            </dependency>
