Preserving backwards compatibility?

[dfabulich]

In revisions 598168 and 598171 I added support for an "aggregate" mode to
the surefire-report plugin.  In this mode, the plugin will aggregate XML
test results from multiple directories, just like the javadoc and jxr
plugins.

In 2.3, surefire-report takes exactly one "reportDirectory".  In 2.4, the
plugin now accepts an array of "reportDirectories".

In order to maintain backwards compatibility, I continued to accept the
old "reportDirectory" property, marking it with the "@deprecated" javadoc
attribute.  Is there something else I can/should do in order to deprecate
a Mojo parameter?

That works.
