Yes, having the timestamp to 0 is something I wanted generally to avoid.
But this has opened another question: use what value? Can this be automated?

I knew that war files could be a specific use case.
Perhaps this plugin requires a specific way of handling reproducibility, even 
more than the standard in the proposal "define a  timestamp in pom.xml"?

Do you want that I create a Reproducible branch in mave-war-plugin like I did 
for Jar, Source and Assembly, so we can test?

Hervé
