When writing a properties file using the java.util.Properties class, a header containing the current date is automatically added. This renders the output non reproducible. Here is a patch for java.util.Properties checking if the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is specified and using it instead of the current date for the timestamp.
