We use help:effective-bom in our bom extension to generate an effective bom. When Maven Help Plugin 3.3.0 is released, we should make sure it's the version of the help plugin that's used. This will allow us to remove StripUnrepeatableOutputAction as the plugin's output should be repeatable by default.

Comment From: wilkinsona
The output produced by 3.3.0 isn't fully repeatable. In 3.2.0 there was a comment with a timestamp:
<!-- Generated by Maven Help Plugin on 2023-01-17T11:18:21Z -->
This comment is now gone, however there are still other entries that aren't repeatable. For example, the value of <project><reporting><outputDirectory> includes the fully-qualified path of the project's directory. I don't think there's anything we can do about this so we'll have to keep StripUnrepeatableOutputAction.
