Description
The following classes in the javadoc `WorkArounds` and `Utils` classes are not used anymore: 

 - WorkArounds.searchClass(TypeElement, String)
 - Utils.findClass(Element, String)
 - Utils.getClasses(Element)
 - Utils.findClassInPackageElement(PackageElement, String)

The last use of these (interdependent) methods was `ThrowsTaglet.inherit(...)`, which was removed in JDK-8295277.
