Reproducible Builds is now implemented in many plugins: it's time to work on reproducible war files.
I created MWAR-432 issue and implemented classical Reproducible jar output in corresponding branch. But in our discussion in november [1], an issue was reported for unchanged timestamp in SNAPSHOTs war regarding Tomcat detection algorithm of changed content. Should we just disable reproducible wars for SNAPSHOTs and enable it only for releases? Should we add a boolean option for people to decide whether they want reproducible SNAPSHOTs? Is there any idea on how we could manage output timestamp for SNAPSHOTs?
