 - `skip` (boolean, default: false) - Skip execution of the plugin.
 - `encoding` (String) - Encoding of output OpenAPI files.
 - `outputFileTypeFilter` (String, default: ALL) - Set this to `YAML` in order to let the generation process produce just *.yaml output, `JSON` to obtain *.json files only. The default is `ALL`, which will generate both file types.
+- `scanners` (List<String>) - Names of the AnnotationScanner implementations that should be executed. If omitted or an empty list, all scanners will be executed. The names of the scanners available by default are `JAX-RS`, `Spring`, and `Vert.x`.
