title: Maven - copying properties file from SVN to Linux based App Server machines
body: <p>We are using Maven and Jenkins for our automated Build and Deployment needs. Our Build Engineer has left and it is now up to me (Java Architect) to implement a few remaining stuff. I tried a lot of things to resolve this issue we are having. The problem statement is -</p>
  
  <p>We have made a separate project in Eclipse to store properties files. The Developers check-in the properties file into SVN once they make any changes to it. Now we want that Maven, when triggered to do a deploy, to do the following - 
  1. Take the latest properties files from the SVN from the project used to store properties files. 
  2. Copy the same onto the Linux based JBoss App Server's /conf/ folder
  3. Carry on with its deployment task.</p>
  
  <p>We would like to have solution to point 1 and 2 above.</p>
