Hello, I've been interested in reproducible builds for quite some time.
They promote trust and by being cacheable they are essential for shared build systems like Google (https://bazel.build/ ) or Facebook use ( https://buckbuild.com/). I'm tracking my progress here: https://nextbeans.com/reproducible Basically, the NetBeans Platform is reproducible! I have to polish the code and push it to a new repository. Then I'll look into the full IDE (I assume the installer might have some issues). --emi
