It turned out that maven-bundle-plugin doesn't set these timestamps at all. The fix was to switch back to jar-packaging and use the maven-bundle-plugin to generate the manifest only. The jar is now again built by the maven-jar-plugin, which does respect project.build.outputTimestamp. The contents of the manifest.mf is equivalent (not identical, because the entries are sorted differently and the line length is different), so I think this change is ok. Best regards, Emond
