Provided you have the svn command line application, you can use the following code - we use it in our projects (slightly altered)

  
    
      maven-antrun-plugin
      
        
          generate-resources
          
            run
          
          
            
              
              
                
              
            
          
        
      
    
    
      maven-war-plugin
      
        
          
            ${project.build.directory}/generated-web-resources/svn
          
        
        **/_svn/**
