I'm happy to announce that we just released Maven 4.0..0-beta-5 with a very nice improvement: Reproducible Builds is enabled by default!!!
The story started during our Reproducible Builds Summit in Hamburg, where I created the objective in the issue tracker: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8258 Back from the event, the important step was the discussion with the wider Maven community: this change was very welcome by everybody, as we have a multi-year experience on having configured our builds for reproducibility, checking on every release of every component, and fixing our build when something weird is detected (yes, this happens a few times per year) We're now pushing for Maven 4 to leave beta phase, as it is when this feature will be used at larger scale: but here we are, Reproducible Builds is becoming the default Regards, Hervé
