Review Comment:
   Some documentation of the compiler plugin 4.x cover source directory layout, 
in particular:
   
   * [Declaration of source 
directories](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin-4.x/sources.html)
   * [Modular 
project](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin-4.x/modules.html)
   
   This documentation has not yet been reflected in the main Maven 
documentation such as "Introduction to the Standard Directory Layout". A reason 
is that while the work is completed on the compiler plugin side it is not 
finished on JAR plugin side (pull request ready, waiting for the next Maven 4 
release before to submit for merge) and Surefire plugin side (waiting for the 
ongoing big simplification).
