Description
**[Jorge Solórzano](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=jorsol)** opened **[MCOMPILER-563](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-563?redirect=false)** and commented
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.**
