What does "Expression:" mean?

What does the "Expression:" entry in maven plugin goal argument lists
mean?  Eg. like here:
 http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#encoding

Does this mean that by setting
 <properties>
  <maven.compile.encoding>utf-8</maven.compile.encoding>
 <properties>
the java compiler encoding will be set to UTF-8?

Or is it neccessary to set it like this?
 <plugins>
  <plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
     <encoding>utf-8</encoding>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
 </plugins>

Thanx for the info!

(I tried setting the first form, since it's so much shorter, but it
had no effect that I could see)

It needs to be set with the second form, the expression is used for:
- reading from <properties>
- reading from -Dmaven.compile.encoding on the command line,
