Description

The parameters sourceDirectory and testSourceDirectory are deprecated since version 2.13 of the plugin. They were both superseded with sourceDirectories and testSourceDirectories respectively.

In order for users to easily catch usage of those parameters, and prepare their removal in a future version, the build will fail if they are specified, with this major upgrade. A mention in the index of the site is further added to document this.
