elharo opened a new pull request, #1123:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/pull/1123

   Improves the documentation for the `incrementalCompilation` parameter and 
the deprecated `useIncrementalCompilation` parameter (issue #777, 
[MCOMPILER-563]).
   
   The name "incremental compilation" gives the misleading impression that the 
plugin compiles a single changed class together with its dependents, like an 
IDE incremental compiler. In reality the plugin only runs a change-detection 
algorithm that decides whether to recompile the whole module or only the 
modified source files.
   
   This is a documentation-only change (Javadoc). No Java code behavior is 
modified. The updated Javadoc is what gets rendered into the plugin's published 
parameter documentation (plugin-info `.html`).
   
   Closes #777
