Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6276:
-------------------------------------
I think {{idempotent}} is a better term, because is clearly states that its
result should be unchanged when executed multiple times. And maybe this is can
be handled the same way as threadsafety: introduce an annotation which states
that the plugin in idempotent aware.
> Support reproducible builds
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6276
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6276
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core, General
> Reporter: Paolo Sacconier
>
> A venerable build system like maven should support full build reproduibilty
> (i.e. producing bit a bit identical binaries from the same source).
> As initiatives like https://reproducible-builds.org gain traction and the
> news of the recent Debian policy change to mandate this build behavior (see
> https://reproducible.alioth.debian.org/blog/posts/121/), this seems a feature
> that needs to be considered for inclusion into maven core.
> There is an indipendent ongoing effort to support this feature and the author
> stated that he has found interest from maven project to integrate his work:
> https://github.com/Zlika/reproducible-build-maven-plugin/issues/6#issuecomment-325005883
> I hope this issue helps kickstart the effort.
