No, she'll not involved. But Maven and Gradle related. 



I used to set timestamps in Maven and Gradle, to filter package build info 
properties, to archive build packages with a timestamp (in Maven and Gradle 
plugins). This requires a same timestamp with different formats. 




Until I stared to work with AWS, when you try to deploy package to Elastic 
Beanstalk and put a copy to S3 bucket, you will find there's no way to name the 
version in Elastic Beanstalk, and the archive in S3 bucket with a timestamp, 
with Jenkins plugin. (BTW, there are two Elastic Beanstalk plugins, and one of 
them is a fork of the other one)




And in Maven and Gralde, we can use those timestamp variables. One timestamp, 
different formats, keeps the built artifacts and the job history info 
consistent.
