Hi! While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that a lot of java packages are using javadoc, which includes a timestamp in the generated documentation by default. To make a lot of those packages reproducible, we currently have a workaround in strip-nondeterminism, which removes those timestamps again. But our long-term goal is to get rid of such workarounds and solve the problems at the root. javadoc has a -notimestamp option, which can already prevent the embedding of those timestamps, but not every package is making use of this (directly or indirectly by using a helper like javahelper). It would be awesome if the default behavior of javadoc could be changed to never embed timestamps unless explicitely requested. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
