The idea behind the GradleX project is to provide plugins that are focused on making one specific aspect of Gradle better when used on top of Gradle's core plugins. Nothing says this better, than our latest plugin that only consists of 20 lines of code. Introducing:

id("org.gradlex.reproducible-builds") version "1.0"

Just add it to your (Java) projects and the chance that what your build produces never changes for a given code revision increases drastically. independent of where and when the build runs. • 📚 More information: https://gradlex.org/reproducible-builds/ • ☀️ Related discussion on Gradle's GitHub: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/28806 Do you have ideas what else the plugin could/should do? • S Visit #C06T03MSEAX right here in this Slack • 💬 Open an issue with suggestions https://github.com/gradlex-org/reproducible-builds/issues (please make your case with good use cases and steps for reproducing)

😆 reminds me of my own plugin: https://github.com/SgtSilvio/gradle-defaults/blob/main/src/main/kotlin/io/github/sgtsilvio/gradle/defaults/DefaultsPlugin.kt

You miss various encodings to be set. For example

docEncoding

and

charSet

on the

StandardJavadocDocletOptions

, and

encoding

on

groovyOptions

of

GroovyCompile

(you have only set the encoding used for the joint-compiled Java files, but not the one for the Groovy files)

Thanks for the feedback. I created an issue: https://github.com/gradlex-org/reproducible-builds/issues/5 Anyone, feel free to add more things that might be missing in this area.
