I can confirm that Woden uses WSDL4J 1.6.2 as a binary dependency (executable jar file) for the WSDL 1.1 to 2.0 converter only. WSDL4J is not used by Woden's WSDL 2.0 parser, so if you're not using the converter you don't need the WSDL4J jar file. The converter code is in the same Woden impl jar file as the WSDL 2.0 parser, but its functionality is not used by the parser.
Some code from the utility classes in WSDL4J 1.4 was reused in Woden but as a software grant was issued by IBM to ASF for that version of WSDL4J, that code is now under the ASL 2.0 (i.e. no CPL issues for Woden source code / binary code). regards, John Kaputin.
