Konrad Windszus updated MCOMPILER-577:
--------------------------------------
Description:
The name {{forceJavacCompilerUse}}
(https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#forceJavacCompilerUse)
is confusing, because it only determines which API to use to access {{javac}},
but doesn't actually affect the compiler being used (which is determined via
{{compilerId}} or toolchains).
I would propose to rename that to {{forceLegacyJavacApi}} and clarify that this
currently only has an effect on compiler {{javac}} (in case it is not forked).
In order to be backwards-compatible the old name should still be considered as
alias.
