-------------------------------------------------------------
I like these 2 ideas:
- {{idempotent}} name, which gives {{project.build.idempotent}} property to
activate
- an annotation to mark plugins that are idempotent aware
the only drawback is that "reproducible builds" is the term that is widely used
and defined in https://reproducible-builds.org/
Notice that a search in Wikipedia gave me "deterministic compilation"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_compilation
Perhaps "deterministic build" would be easier for normal people ("idempotent"
may be harder to understand)

> 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.
