Reproducible build

[SentryMan]

configures build to be reproducible

seems it works on both mac and windows, but not in the build

What are you hoping to achieve here? I don't believe these are strictly reproducible builds but what is the actual motivation here to trigger you doing this?

[SentryMan]

I was reading about all the benefits of reproducible builds, and I couldn't find any reason not to try seeing if the libraries here can have reproducible builds. For most of them it was a simple pom configuration.

I suppose a more immediate tangible benefit is seeing and understanding where the randomness in the code-gen comes from. Even if it can't be resolved, it will increase our understanding.

You have to admit it's curious that that generator core is the one causing the problem. This raises some very interesting questions.

• Is it an issue with the prisms generation?
• If so, why does it fail here and not on the other repos?
• Is http doing something else with the build that causes the core jar in particular to have different results every time?
• Is it the weird shading thing we have going on?

[SentryMan]

well I'm stumped
