Jenkins workspace is not cleanup or you have FINAL version inside pom.xml. Jenkins has check-out strategy for cleaning up workspace.

Check-out Strategy options:

• Emulate clean checkout by first deleting unversioned files/ignored files, as well as files/directories ignored by svn:ignore, then execute svn update.
• Always check out fresh copy
• Use svn update as much possible, with svn revert before update
