Previously, the installer downloaded Java and installed a Desktop
shortcut to the downloaded installer. However the old download
URL is dead now and NSIS does not support the new https URLs
without a plugin.
Anyways it is not much of a difference in convenience whether the
installer downloads an installer or opens a browser with the
download location.
It has been considered to switch from NSIS to msitools[1]. However
both technologies are strange to all current YaCy devs and NSIS
still seems to be less complex and more widely adopted.

I could only test this change in WINE because the developer virtual
machine from microsoft[2] freezed always soon after boot under QEMU.

The browser did not open under WINE.
rm buildDate from build.xml and its usages2022-07-10T11:32:38ZThomas Kochthomas@koch.ro2022-07-10T09:13:34Zurn:sha1:3116713672bbcf6aec50439537e451646bc9a11a
The https://reproducible-builds.org project invests a lot of work
to make builds reproducible. This is a security property. It allows
to compare the build of binaries from different builder machines.
If they are identical, it means that either the builds have not
been manipulated or an attacker managed to attack all builder
machines in exactly the same way.
One problem that the reproducible-builds project often sees is
that projects include the build time in their binaries. This
makes builds unreproducible for apparently no reason. The build
date should not be of interest since binaries built on different
dates but from the same source code should not be different.
Thus I decided to remove the build date instead of re-implementing
the functionality without the GitRev task. Anyways the reported
date was not the build date but the date of the last git commit
which is even less informative. The git commit ID would have
information value but should only be relevant for "nightly builds".
