The current year is embedded in various documentation files:
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/jakarta-jmeter.html
/usr/share/jmeter/printable_docs/building.html

Not only does this break reproducible builds, it is not an accurate
reflection of the correct copyright dates.
The attached patch to two upstream .vsl files fixes this by using the
date that the current upstream version was uploaded to debian (maybe it
is older, feel free to adjust appropriately).
According to my local tests, with this patch applied, jakarta-jmeter
should build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!
Thanks for maintaining jakarta-jmeter!
live well,

Subject: [PATCH] xdocs/stylesheets/site*.vsl: Use specific date for Copyright
headers.
This breaks reproducible builds, but also the dates for Copyright
headers are valid for when the content was initially authored, not
the build date.
