Dennis Lundberg commented on MJAVADOC-332:
------------------------------------------
I'm not sure what it is that you want.
The alias="destDir" indicates that this parameter has been renamed from
"destDir" to "outputDirectory". The alias makes it possible to keep the old
name of the parameter for backwards compatibility.
The expression="${destDir}" part means that if you want to specify this
parameter on the command line you should use the syntax:
-DdestDir=my/chosen/path
> outputDirectory is not honored as it should, but valuated to destDir.
