Yep, the tools change over time and it may produce the build differently in future. However, storing binary builds in svn (or similar) makes for a svn repo and checkout + presumably duplication of all the dependent jars/frameworks (if each of your apps was in a different svn repo, for example)

Of course, this is not a problem -- but just throwing maven out there as an alternative, which means:
- one repo with all historical builds and dependencies. So support team can easily browse/download versioned builds as necessary without searching through source code history.
- small(er) source code: without duplicate jars/frameworks but just the id refs for them.

with regards,
