Why would this make it less repeatable? A build's repeatability/reproducibility is based on the whether it is deterministic. And whether a property can be overwritten/changed doesn't change the determinism of a process. If it did, then (single threaded) programming would be a lot harder... :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
