Reproducible builds are all the vogue. The JDK has been making great strides in getting there, but still has some way to go. However, to get as close as possible, some special configuration is needed.
This has been "tribal knowledge" of a few persons in the build team. It needs to be properly documented to help other users wanting to create reproducible builds of the JDK. ------------- Commit messages: - 8276746: Add section on reproducible builds in building.md Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6279/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=6279&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8276746 Stats: 89 lines in 2 files changed: 89 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6279.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/6279/head:pull/6279 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6279
