> As of today, maven-compiler-plugin documentation for useIncrementalCompilation says: "to enable/disable incrementation compilation feature". Since there is no documentation of said feature, users will have to either:
> 1) take a guess at how the feature behaves
> 2) painfully read the plugin code to understand what it does
> This is less than optimal and lead to misunderstanding, like this comment https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-205?focusedCommentId=14428972&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14428972
> So far the most explicit documentation I have found is in answer of a stackoverflow issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49700942
> I think it would benefit a lot of users to understand the implication of both options of this flag. I am trying to submit a PR providing an example of text.
