JIRA Issue: MNG-8258
IT PR: apache/maven-integration-testing#392


The Maven used the own inception year 2001.
But the Gradle already use the 1 Feb 1980 for preserveFileTimestamps.

The 1 Jan 1980 is a minimal date in Zip archive but the 1 Jan has some special treatment by Java that's why the Gradle team used the 1 Feb.

See more detailed description in CONSTANT_TIME_FOR_ZIP_ENTRIES https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/platforms/core-runtime/files/src/main/java/org/gradle/api/internal/file/archive/ZipEntryConstants.java#L39

The change was first proposed in the #1726 (comment) and also slightly discussed in the MSHARED-1430

@hboutemy:
many people have many opinions: there are even more opinions than people
The default value has been added in MNG-8258 with a Maven-specific timestamp (no reason to try to mimic others: there is no perfect or wrong choice)
@stokito:
Sure, but a standardization always improves and simplifies things (if done right). Having the same value 1 Feb 1980 will simplify search "Why my jar has the weird date? You have the reproducible build. Ah, ok, ty". But also I switch from Gradle to Maven then if would be less differences in artifacts.

Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
contribution quickly and easily:

  • Make sure there is a JIRA issue filed
    for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial changes like typos do not
    require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without
    pulling in other changes.
  • Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body.
  • Format the pull request title like [MNG-XXX] SUMMARY,
    where you replace MNG-XXX and SUMMARY with the appropriate JIRA issue.
  • Also format the first line of the commit message like [MNG-XXX] SUMMARY.
    Best practice is to use the JIRA issue title in both the pull request title and in the first line of the commit message.
  • Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
  • Run mvn clean verify to make sure basic checks pass. A more thorough check will
    be performed on your pull request automatically.
  • You have run the Core IT successfully.
