Mostly OK, but ...

This may have always been a possible issue, but now is a good time to fix it.  On "new" line 728, `getClass().getClassLoader()`can theoretically return null. See https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Class.html#getClassLoader()

publicClassLoader  
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/ClassLoader.html>
  getClassLoader()
Returns the class loader for the class. Some implementations may use null to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method will return null in such implementations if this class was loaded by the bootstrap class loader.
This raises the potential for an NPE on line 755.  That line should be rewritten as follows:

    return classLoader == null ? Class.forName(docletName) : classloader.loadClass(docletName);

No need to rev-review if that is the only change you make and all appropriate tests pass.
