Description
Similar to MJAVADOC-668, it would be good to improve the <jdkToolchain> parameter documentation.
The current documentation only mentions that it represents "requirements for this jdk toolchain", but it is not exactly clear what the syntax for these requirements is, or to what they apply.
It might be good to use Surefire's documentation as reference, which hints that the <jdkToolchain> specifies the requirements for the <provides> values of the JDK toolchains.
Additionally it would be good to improve the page "Compiling Sources Using A Different JDK" which does mention that "it is also possible to give the plugin its own toolchain". But it does not refer or link to <jdkToolchain>, so it is not directly obvious how to achieve this.
