I've pushed my work in progress to https://github.com/emilianbold/reproducible-nextbeans
Since I can't (yet) build the installers I could not look into those. db.sql.visualeditor still needs fixing because the ANTLR parser is not deterministic. I was expecting this since I know they've been trying to make ANTLR deterministic at Google a while back too. My solution would be to also commit the generated parser and don't regenerate it for each build. There may be some other minor issues, but overall the whole IDE seems to be reproducible. Implementation dependencies seem really sticky if OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version never changes automatically.
