Context
The native
java.util.Properties
class in Java will add a comment in each properties file with the timestamp when the file was generated, which prevents projects implementing reproducible builds.This change set replaces the usage of
java.util.Properties
and the custom order-preserving wrapper around it with thejava-ordered-properties
project, which prevents writing the timestamp comment and still retains a reproducible order in the properties files.Fixes #472
