I am migrating J2ee Project from Ant to Maven,

One of The ant tasks is to pull existing source from SVN Repository

Compile it, and add its jar to my current build as Jar

Is it possible to do the get the source and compile it in Maven?

Thank you!

Yes, in a similar way as in Ant. Execute the svn command in exec-maven-plugin in one of pre-compile phases, perhaps in generate-sources. I'd try something like this (it's a brain-dump, may contain minor mistakes):

org.codehaus.mojo

exec-maven-plugin

...

svn

exec

generate-sources

svn

co

${svn.projecturl}

${project.build.root}

...

EDIT

Prunge's answer made me think — what do you want to really achieve? If the project is always to be the part of the build, a far better way would be to "mavenize" it (write a POM for it) and include it as a module/dependency.

If the SVN checkout is to be a one-time action, maybe it's better to leave it as it is, add the jar to the repository with mvn install:install-file (assigning a group id and artifact id), and use it as a dependency?
