Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-619:
-----------------------------------------
I know [~hboutemy] also thought about aligning the timestamps of files in a jar
to make them reproducible. He came to an interesting conclusion: use the
timestamp of the pom.xml. That trick should work here as well: with every
release the pom is touched anyway and it represents the right date. During
SNAPSHOT development the date may be off, but that shouldn't be an issue.
