[jira] [Created] (MCOMPILER-563) Deprecate/rename useIncrementalCompilation

Jorge Solórzano created MCOMPILER-563:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Deprecate/rename useIncrementalCompilation
                 Key: MCOMPILER-563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-563
             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jorge Solórzano


The property *maven.compiler.useIncrementalCompilation* has the unfortunate name that makes it believe that Maven is using "incremental" source code compilation.

People always believe that this compiles only the single class or source code that has changed when the reality is that it only is used to detect changes and recompile the full Maven project/module.

The proposal would be to deprecate this property now and rename it in the 4.0 branch to something like *maven.compiler.rebuildDetection.*
