This is probably an Eclipse+Subclipse issue. I have the same problem
when I drag&drop a new version of a JAR into a project. Afterwards,
Subclipse will try to delete the file in the repository and there is no
easy way to get out of that.

But when you say "overwrite versioned JAR files" do you mean that your
build process just overwrites the file (ie. outside of Eclipse's
control), then Eclipse notices that the file has changed and finally,
Subclipse wants to delete it?

That would mean that updating a file from "outside" of Eclipse triggers
a chain of events which Subclipse doesn't or cannot handle correctly.
Maybe Eclipse first sends a delete event and then a "new/add file" event
which Subclipse ignores because it wants to commit the delete, first.
