Start by reviewing the qdox dependency and the Maven plugin code that uses it; the issue links qdox issue 287 for the deprecation context. Identify the required qdox functionality in the plugin, then determine whether replacing the dependency or implementing that functionality is feasible. Done means qdox is no longer used and the affected plugin behavior remains covered.
