Hi, The "maven-doxia-book-maven-plugin" [1] has not received any functional change since years (only things like upgrading parent versions etc.). The related "maven-doxia-book-renderer" [2] got retired in September 2025. I therefore propose that we retire maven-doxia-book-maven-plugin. I would like to skip doing a final retirement release as it seems that there was never one. The lists of git tags is empty and neither "https://central.sonatype.com/" nor "https://mvnrepository.com/repos/central" list this plugin, when you search for the artifact ID. Therefore I would only update the GitHub repository, related sites and after that ask INFRA to archive it. If this vote is successful I will do the steps mentioned above, making it clear on the plugin site that it has been retired. After that the source code repository will get archived, meaning it's read only in the future. The process for retiring a plugin is described here: https://maven.apache.org/developers/retirement-plan-plugins.html The vote is open for 72 hours. [ ] +1 Yes, it's about time [ ] -1 No, because... -- Matthias [1] https://github.com/apache/maven-doxia-book-maven-plugin [2] https://github.com/apache/maven-doxia-book-renderer
