I haven't followed this PR and came to know about this only through a mail in the OpenJDK mailing list. Just on the following part: > We may not be able to enable reproducible build at all with the jar tool at it stands today because the jar tool does not seem to be designed for an explicit enumeration of files to include. It seems to be designed for working on directories only, in which case the entry order may depend on the tool or the platform. The JDK in recent times has tried to provide reproducibility in tools wherever feasible. If there are shortcomings in the `jar` tool that prevent reproducibility, then it would be good to bring those specific details in the core-libs-dev OpenJDK mailing list https://mail.openjdk.org/mail/lists/core-libs-dev.openjdk.org/ (a mailing list subscription is required to send/receive mails). It would be good to address any of those issues in the `jar` tool as much as feasible. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
