Herve Boutemy commented on MJAR-275:
------------------------------------
MJAR-295 created to track this JDK patch version in module-info.class, even if
not sure that the. workaround is best done in m-jar-p. or m-compiler-p
> outputTimestamp not applied to module-info; breaks reproducible builds

> Setting {{project.build.outputTimestamp}} to a fixed value allows creating
> reproducible builds per this guide:
> [https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-reproducible-builds.html
> |https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-reproducible-builds.html]However,
> if one adds a module-info file to the project, reproducible builds break.
> This is caused by module-info.class using the latest timestamp and not
> {{project.build.outputTimestamp}}. I was able to identify the problem using
> diffoscope: [https://diffoscope.org/.|https://diffoscope.org/] With it I
> determined the timestamp across 2 builds was constant for all but the
> module-info.class:
>
> {code:java}
> -rw---- 2.0 fat 862 bl defN 20-Oct-17 00:40
> space/arim/libertybans/api/select/SelectionOrder.class
> │ -rw---- 2.0 fat 1113 bl defN 20-Oct-17 00:40
> space/arim/libertybans/api/select/SelectionOrderBuilder.class
> │ -rw---- 2.0 fat 2285 bl defN 20-Oct-17 00:40
> META-INF/maven/space.arim.libertybans/bans-api/pom.xml
> │ -rw---- 2.0 fat 74 bl defN 20-Oct-17 00:40
> META-INF/maven/space.arim.libertybans/bans-api/pom.properties
> │ --rw---- 2.0 fat 557 bl defN 20-Oct-25 12:39 module-info.class
> │ +-rw---- 2.0 fat 557 bl defN 20-Oct-25 12:41 module-info.class
> {code}
>
> Note the + and - which are diffoscope's way of indicating the difference
> between the .jar files. Here the {{project.build.outputTimestamp}} is on 17
> October. As shown, module-info has a "rebellious" timestamp.
