Follow-up for: MRELEASE-1029
I have pretty much the same problem as the ASF has in MPOM-255 and MPOM-265: I build a parent POM in a project, and I want that project's output to be reproducible, but if I set project.build.outputTimestamp in the parent POM itself's <properties>, all users inherit it. This is suboptimal (even if not harmful), especially as users' mvn artifact:check-buildplan will now succeed with merely...
[WARNING] <project.build.outputTimestamp> property is inherited, it should be defined in pom.xml
... instead of erroring out when a user does not define it.
In my parent POM, I have already defined a profile build-mvnparent which I enable when releasing the parent POM project itself, which defines a couple of properties such as the copyright years which I also don't want users to inherit by accident.
However, when I put the project.build.outputTimestamp property in there, not only do I get mvn artifact:check-buildplan warnings about the property being inherited when it's not (just pulled from a profile), but also does the maven-release-plugin not update it when releasing.
I would request that this be fixed, so then the ASF and I could use the profile method of defining this in the parent POM without all users of the parent-POM-once-installed inheriting that value (while all other modules in the same project that installs the parent POM do get it), and once it's fixed, the artifact:check-buildplan be updated to recognise this situation.
