rebuilding Mockito releases to check thatbuild can really be reproduced bit for bit: https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/blob/master/content/org/mockito/mockito-core/README.md

for release 5.15.2, the only issue I get is in 3 .jar (not all):

├── META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
│ @@ -1,13 +1,13 @@
│  Manifest-Version: 1.0
│  Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
│  Bundle-Name: mockito-errorprone
│  Bundle-SymbolicName: mockito-errorprone
│  Bundle-Version: 5.15.2
│ -Created-By: 21.0.5 (Azul Systems, Inc.)

│  Import-Package: com.google.errorprone;version="[2.23,3)",com.google.er
│   rorprone.bugpatterns;version="[2.23,3)",com.google.errorprone.fixes;v

which means the build is in theory reproducible, but in practice for these 3 jars I need to use EXACTLY 21.0.5 (Azul Systems, Inc.)

questions:

• can I inject a build property to override the value automatically detected from effective JDK details?
• do you have another strategy for rebuilders?
