[rb-general] Checking Reproducible Build for a Maven project

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

More progress!  The jtorctl library that we hacked on in Marrakesh is
now published using Maven with a .buildinfo file:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/info/guardianproject/jtorctl/0.4/

.hc

> After working with Maven and Bazel devs at the summit,  I wanted to
> follow up to keep the buildinfo work moving.  I have buildinfo
> generation working with gradle, and it is now working in Maven plugins.
>  I'd heard it was working with Bazel, but I haven't seen it yet.
> 
> The JARs produced with Maven and Gradle now only differ in the sort
> order of files in the ZIP header.  `mvn deploy` even pushes the
> buildinfo file to the maven repo:
> https://gitlab.com/eighthave/jtorctl/-/packages/59404
> 
> In this process, I found a small bug in maven archiver, which puts the
> META-INF/ dir entry after the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF entry in the ZIP:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-849
