Builds that generate episode files are not reproducible

[alerosmile]

Builds that include the generation of episode files are not reproducible because these files contain a timestamp. This issue is not related to the jaxb-tools but rather to the XJC compiler in use. Although there is an option (noFileHeader) to disable the generation of file headers, it does not work with episode files.

There is a PR in the jaxb-ri repository that addresses this problem, but it seems the project is no longer actively maintained. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we could get this PR merged and released?

I agree, this should be included. I do believe this is a jaxb-ri function, and would need to be addressed there.

@laurentschoelens is working on becoming a committer/contributor to jaxb-ri and that would hopefully help things ;-)

[laurentschoelens]

This should need update of jaxb dependency when it's merged and released in order to have fix in jaxb-tools' maven-plugin too

[hboutemy]

IMHO, duplicates #572

[alerosmile]

@laurentschoelens now that the PR in the jaxb-ri repository has been merged, do you know if this change will be included in jaxb-tools soon?

[laurentschoelens]

@alerosmile : yes. I'll build 4.0.7 of runtime locally and see if reproducible build now is fixed 😄
