Hi,

There is no local build.properties file that we can easily edit on the Jenkins 
box (as we have no access) and we wouldn't want to put it in SVN as it would 
then effect all builds. Initially Jenkins start with a clean slate and checks 
out everything from SVN.

Don't think so see above. I could have the build script generate a 
build.properties file but that seem a little silly.

Yes but it would fail again, if the files are not there it will fail each time 
until we change to build options to download the files.

Any checkin will trigger a build and run of the check in texts (once per hour 
max). You can also manually run builds.
