```
public Parameter()
```
- Method Detail
  - getAlias
```
public String getAlias()
```
    Get specifies an alias which can be used to configure this parameter from the POM. This is primarily useful to improve user-friendliness, where Mojo field names are not intuitive to the user or are otherwise not conducive to configuration via the POM.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getDeprecated
```
public String getDeprecated()
```
    Get specify the version when the parameter was deprecated to the API. Similar to Javadoc deprecated. This will trigger a warning when a user tries to configure a parameter marked as deprecated.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getDescription
```
public String getDescription()
```
    Get the description of this parameter's use inside the Mojo.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getImplementation
```
public String getImplementation()
```
    Get the implementation field.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Get the name of the parameter, to be used while configuring this parameter from the Mojo's declared defaults or from the POM.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getSince
```
public String getSince()
```
    Get specify the version when the parameter was added to the API. Similar to Javadoc since.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - getType
```
public String getType()
```
    Get the Java type for this parameter. This is used to validate the result of any expressions used to calculate the value which should be injected into the Mojo for this parameter.
    
    Returns:
    String
  - isEditable
```
public boolean isEditable()
```
    Get specifies that this parameter can be configured directly by the user (as in the case of POM-specified configuration). This is useful when you want to force the user to use common POM elements rather than plugin configurations, as in the case where you want to use the artifact's final name as a parameter. In this case, you want the user to modify <build><finalName/></build> rather than specifying a value for finalName directly in the plugin configuration section. It is also useful to ensure that - for example - a List-typed parameter which expects items of type Artifact doesn't get a List full of Strings.
    
    Returns:
    boolean
  - isRequired
```
public boolean isRequired()
```
    Get whether this parameter is required for the Mojo to function. This is used to validate the configuration for a Mojo before it is injected, and before the Mojo is executed from some half-state.
    
    Returns:
    boolean
  - setAlias
```
public void setAlias(String alias)
```
    Set specifies an alias which can be used to configure this parameter from the POM. This is primarily useful to improve user-friendliness, where Mojo field names are not intuitive to the user or are otherwise not conducive to configuration via the POM.
    
    Parameters:
    alias -
  - setDeprecated
```
public void setDeprecated(String deprecated)
```
    Set specify the version when the parameter was deprecated to the API. Similar to Javadoc deprecated. This will trigger a warning when a user tries to configure a parameter marked as deprecated.
    
    Parameters:
    deprecated -
  - setDescription
```
public void setDescription(String description)
```
    Set the description of this parameter's use inside the Mojo.
    
    Parameters:
    description -
  - setEditable
```
public void setEditable(boolean editable)
```
    Set specifies that this parameter can be configured directly by the user (as in the case of POM-specified configuration). This is useful when you want to force the user to use common POM elements rather than plugin configurations, as in the case where you want to use the artifact's final name as a parameter. In this case, you want the user to modify <build><finalName/></build> rather than specifying a value for finalName directly in the plugin configuration section. It is also useful to ensure that - for example - a List-typed parameter which expects items of type Artifact doesn't get a List full of Strings.
    
    Parameters:
    editable -
  - setImplementation
```
public void setImplementation(String implementation)
```
    Set the implementation field.
    
    Parameters:
    implementation -
  - setName
```
public void setName(String name)
```
    Set the name of the parameter, to be used while configuring this parameter from the Mojo's declared defaults or from the POM.
    
    Parameters:
    name -
  - setRequired
```
public void setRequired(boolean required)
```
    Set whether this parameter is required for the Mojo to function. This is used to validate the configuration for a Mojo before it is injected, and before the Mojo is executed from some half-state.
    
    Parameters:
    required -
  - setSince
```
public void setSince(String since)
```
    Set specify the version when the parameter was added to the API. Similar to Javadoc since.
    
    Parameters:
    since -
  - setType
```
public void setType(String type)
```
    Set the Java type for this parameter. This is used to validate the result of any expressions used to calculate the value which should be injected into the Mojo for this parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    type -
