RE: Re: set svn:ignore on all unversioned files

You could also try to stay with the Maven principles and try building to another directory. I.e. When you check your project out all source files are under /src/main/java and you build to /target/classes. This way you only have to set an svn:ignore on your root directory to ignore the target folder.

Just do

svn ps svn:ignore '*' [directory]

What do you mean by "update the repository"? Doing a commit won't push any new
build files to the server since they are unversioned files, so you don't need to
ignore them.
