Sure; how would I do that?

Once you get past getting the Maven plugin working and forcing Eclipse to
use the JDK instead of the JRE it's really trivial:
Install the Maven plugin for Eclipse; http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/
The tricky part with using the Maven plugin for Eclipse is that you need to
set up Eclipse to use the Java JDK, not the JRE. Otherwise Maven won't work
properly.
On Windows, find Eclipse in your Start menu and right click on it and select
Properties. In the Properties window select the Shortcut tab. In the
Target box you need to add -vm followed by the path to the JDK's javaw, in
quotes. For example, mine has
"C:\Program Files\eclipse-3.4.0\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10\bin\javaw.exe" -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx768m
-XX:PermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
Follow the verifying steps on the m2eclipse web site to make sure that Maven
is working properly within Eclipse. I.e., you don't want to get that error
message from Maven about the JDK in the Eclipse console window.
Install the Eclipse Subclipse plugin if you haven't already (tigris.org).
Or Subversive, etc.
In Eclipse right click in the Package Explorer window and select Import and
open the Other folder in the list (at the bottom) and in it select Check out
Maven Projects from SCM. Click the Next button.
The Target Location window opens; in it use svn for the SCM URL drop down,
and in the url box next to that paste in the svn url;
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/photark/trunk/
Click the Finish button.
Look in the bottom right of the Eclipse window and wait for Maven to finish
doing all of its stuff; it may take quite a while because it needs to
download dependencies.
After Maven finishes grinding away you'll end up with 4 folders, photoark,
photoark-assets, photoark-gallery, and photoark-gallery-webapp. Apparently
Eclipse doesn't support nested projects so the m2eclipse plugin converts the
project structure to this apparent flat structure; although if you go into
the folder in the Windows explorer it's nested.
The photoark folder contains the parent pom. Right click on it and select
Maven install. Wait again for Maven to download lots of stuff, or go paint
the bedroom, wash the car, etc.
I don't remember if I was able to run it from within Eclipse, but it does
generate a .war file and install it in your local repository.
