DebianPts:maven generates a `pom.properties` shipped in jar files containing the build time.

[[https://reproducible.debian.net/userContent/issues/timestamps_in_maven_pom_files_issue.html|Known affected packages]]

= Detection =

[[attachment:annotation-indexer_1.9-1.debbindiff.html|Example debbindiff output]]

= Work-around =

There is a [[https://github.com/FauxFaux/strip-nondeterminism/commit/9846b6b048716031c6cec152fa4b03c2455db946|patch for strip-nondeterminism to delete the line]].

= Solution =

None yet.

This file is written by [[http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/|Maven Archiver]], which is used by `maven-jar-plugin`, `maven-war-plugin` and similar.

 * The file can be eliminated in entirety by changing the archiver settings in the appropriate plugin: {{{
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5</version>
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
}}}

 * Patch for maven-archiver to honour BUILD_DATE submitted as Bug:775010. Still needs the package to set DEB_BUILD_DATE correctly.  Current thoughts: `javahelper`.
