The libwoodstox-java dependency may not be strictly required, it was
dropped from the package in 0.40.1+ds1-2 by Giovanni.
I hadn't noticed that changelog entry when I updated the package and
added the build dependencies listed in gradle.properties.
It seems those are dependencies specified upstream are highly outdated.

Java 5. osmosis currently requires at least Java 6 which includes stax
in the JDK. But the osmosis code now uses javax.xml for its SAX parsing
needs.
I'll update the dependencies in the package and will ask upstream to do
the same for osmosis itself.
Kind Regards,
