[jira] [Created] (MCOMPILER-334) Missing configuration documentation

Paul Millar created MCOMPILER-334:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Missing configuration documentation
                 Key: MCOMPILER-334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-334
             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.5.1
            Reporter: Paul Millar


The [Usage page|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/usage.html] should provide information on how to use this plugin.  However, there is almost no mention of the available configuration options on this page.

The navigation panel provides links to several example scenarios: [Compile Using A Different JDK|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/compile-using-different-jdk.html], [Compile Using -source and -target javac Options|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html], etc.  These are (no doubt) very helpful for people solving those specific problems.  However, there is apparently no page that provides the authoritative description of available configuration options.

Please add a page that provides a list of available configuration options, their expected formats, the default value (if that option is not specified), and the semantics if the value is specified.
