| But what about reproducability? | ||
| Let's run _mvn clean verify artifact:compare_ and find out. | ||
| (Screenshot) | ||
| Oh. We are not? No, even worse: we are practically never. Having a look at the generated .buildinfo-file while executing the Artifact plugin again shows that our hash is changing with every build. |

| Oh. We are not? No, even worse: we are practically never. Having a look at the generated .buildinfo-file while executing the Artifact plugin again shows that our hash is changing with every build. | ||
| The console gives us some hints, and it looks like, we didn't make our homework properly. | ||
| Let's add the property project.build.outputTimestamp to the pom with a default value. Otherwise, our build timestamp will vary everytime we build and therefore the corresponding hash is also changing everytime. | ||
| Now we can consider our build reproducible! So we are save. But how long? What happens, if I modify the JVM, I build my project with? |
