E.g. I recently removed apache.commons.text / apache.commons.lang3.text from IndexLoader since the methods are either deprecated or the packages are not shipped in the knime update site anymore.
Options:
1) check how knime does it now
2) think about if really needed (here: system property substitution in file paths) and remove/comment out (currently done). Commit 8a7955c5736cb1d83406e3cd3220ce3cb361f969 and related
3) write your own
4) use/inherit from knime classes properly or ask for an API
