svn:ignore patterns are not recursive. You have to set svn:ignore on
each dir separately. See [1]

So...
* set svn:ignore property on "classes" with "*.class"
* set svn:ignore property on "build/artifacts/jars/" with "*.jar"
* set svn:ignore property on "build/artifacts/zips/" with "*.zip"
... and so on.

Subversion 1.8 and newer clients support an svn:global-ignores property,
which _is_ recursive; see [2] However this should only be used if you
are positive that a pattern should be ignored throughout the project,
which is not always the case.
