Maven

The most common way is to use Maven (or Ivy) to access it from Maven Central repository. Coordinates for this are:

• Group id: com.fasterxml.woodstox
• Artifact id: woodstox-core
• Latest published version: 5.0.2
  • (NOTE! Version 5.0.0 was accidentally released as broken, not containing actual classes -- 5.0.1 is the first functioning 5.x version).

Note that Maven id has changed since Woodstox 4.x.

Requirements

Woodstox 5 and above require Java 6 (JDK 1.6); as well as Stax API that is included in JDK. The only other mandatory dependence is Stax2 API, extended API implemented by Woodstox and some other Stax implementations (like Aalto.

Optional dependency is Multi-Schema Validator (MSV) that is needed if using XML Schema or RelaxNG validation functionality
