Answer 1

Bump Up your Project POM file for from the previously built code base to a new version.

1.0.1-SNAPSHOT<version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

Answer 2

You're trying to release an artifact that's not a snapshot. That means your artifact's version number is something like 3.0.3. That version number implies its already been released. You can't release a release. There would be no changes in between and therefore no point.

You're only supposed to release SNAPSHOT versions. That means your version number would be like 3.0.3-SNAPSHOT.

Answer 3

Changing the check-out strategy to "Emulate clean checkout by first deleting unversioned files/ignored files, then svn update" did the trick for me.

Answer 4

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
