> Documentation regarding useIncrementalCompilation not very useful

> Key: MCOMPILER-428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-428
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Thomas Bracher
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation
> Fix For: 3.9.0
>
>
> 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.
