Description

While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found that
building the maven-compiler-plugin package in 2034, claimed copyright for future years.
One simple fix could be to instead use the mtime of some file that is unlikely to be touched during build (e.g. ChangeLog). Or just use a constant.
A copyright 2019 will remain correct and effective even in 2050.
