Herve Boutemy commented on MSHARED-837:
---------------------------------------

no, I didn't have time until now: you know, it's my free time

for 
https://github.com/apache/maven-archiver/commit/2f45473f180cbd1fdc2b828095e2f0e57d077a0e,
 you transform X to XXX without proving anything about the impact: I don't know 
why XXX is better than X, nor what it means

for 
https://github.com/apache/maven-archiver/commit/9e7cc4daf109b8970ae6517ac6d4c132ec942b14
 , you add a new dependency and tell me that it is better because it fails a 
unit test, that makes me think it removes some supported formats for setting a 
timestamp

I don't see why I would not simply rely on JDK's DateFormat X: it works, is 
easy to use, easy to understand for users.

> creating an archive in a Reproducible Builds way requires to configure 
> archiver with an output timestamp: see 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=74682318
> The timestamp value can't be natively injected as Date with Plexus, because 
> Plexus Date injection uses local timezone, then is not reproducible: see 
> https://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-containers/plexus-container-default/xref/org/codehaus/plexus/component/configurator/converters/basic/DateConverter.html
> Then we need top inject ${project.build.outputTimestamp} as a String and 
> provide an API to parse this String to a Date, before calling 
> plexus-archiver's configureReproducible
