[jira] [Commented] (MSHARED-494) Impossible to generate a reproducible build due to timestamp in pom.properties

["Andreas Sewe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-494?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15230678#comment-15230678 ] 

Andreas Sewe commented on MSHARED-494:
--------------------------------------

FWIW, if SHARED-505 is taken on, one could simply fix the timestamp in the comment (although one still needs to circumvent {{store()}}) and leave the current behavior as a often useful default. A changing timestamp is better than no timestamp, IMHO.

> Try to making a pom for do a reproducible build, meaning by reproducible build the ability to produce the exact same artifact (same checksum) starting from the same code, a two different times, i had some trouble with the files generated in: /META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/ 
> in the specific the  /META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/pom.properties contains the timestamp.
> digging in the code in the class: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/shared/tags/maven-archiver-3.0.0/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archiver/PomPropertiesUtil.java?revision=1708674&view=markup
