 ## Minimum Requirements
 
-- Java 11
-- Jakarta Servlet 6.0
-- Jakarta Expression Language 5.0
-- CDI 4.0
-- Jakarta Standard Tag Library 2.0
-- Jakarta Web Socket 2.0 (optional, only when `<f:websocket>` is used)
-- Jakarta JSON Processing  2.0 (optional, only when `<f:websocket>` is used)
-- Jakarta Validation 3.0 (optional, only when `<f:validateBean>` or `<f:validateWholeBean>` is used)
+- Java 17
+- Jakarta Servlet 6.1
+- Jakarta Expression Language 6.0
+- jakarta CDI 4.1
+- Jakarta Web Socket 2.2 (optional, only when `<f:websocket>` is used)
+- Jakarta JSON Processing  2.1 (optional, only when `<f:websocket>` is used)
+- Jakarta Validation 3.1 (optional, only when `<f:validateBean>` or `<f:validateWholeBean>` is used)
 
-CDI is explicitly required because since Jakarta Faces 2.3 the `javax.faces.bean.*` annotations such as `@ManagedBean` are deprecated, and in 4.0 these have been removed. Several implicit Jakarta Expression Language objects are produced via CDI producers, and `<f:websocket>` manages the Jakarta WebSocket sessions and events via CDI.

 ## Installation
 
-Depending on the server used, Jakarta Faces may already be built-in (full fledged Jakarta EE containers such as [WildFly][1], [JBoss EAP][2], [TomEE][3], [Payara][4], [GlassFish][5], [Liberty][6], etc.), or not (barebones Jakarta Server Pages/Jakarta Servlet containers such as [Tomcat][7], [Jetty][8], etc.). If the server doesn't ship with Jakarta Faces built-in, then you need to manually install Jakarta Faces 4.0 along with CDI 4.0+, Jakarta JSON Processing 2.0+ and Jakarta Standard Tag Library 2.0+ as those Jakarta Servlet containers usually also don't even ship with those Jakarta Faces dependencies.
