Subversion doesn't change anything. The work to port ant to maven is no different whether working in subversion or not. I'm doing the same thing right now, and basically you are going the throw the content of your project under:

<project_name>
  - trunk (generally here to start with)
  - tags
  - branches

Just start with a new maven structure for whatever type of project you are dealing with (jar, war, ear, etc.). The key thing to remember is that unlike ant, where you can build multiple archives, though its possible with various plugins to do this in maven, the standard convention is one archive per project. So if your present ant build is generating two jars, in general that means your project is going to split into two projects using maven. Its a pain at first, but makes good modular sense.

Actually, I am only familiar with cvs and I am learning svn. However the project I am staring is in ant and svn, so I hav to learn what the best way to port an existing svn/ant application to svn/maven

If you're doing the porting, and it's okay to change around what is in cvs/svn, I would do the following.

myproject/releases
myproject/branches
myproject/trunk
myproject/trunk/pom.xml
myproject/trunk/src
myproject/trunk/jar1/
myproject/trunk/jar1/pom.xml
myproject/trunk/jar1/src
myproject/trunk/jar2/
myproject/trunk/jar2/pom.xml
myproject/trunk/jar2/src
myproject/trunk/jar3/
myproject/trunk/jar3/pom.xml
myproject/trunk/jar3/src

The packaging on the parent is just 'pom', while each of the child modules is jar. They will all be built automatically, if you package from the parent basedir.

Use svn move to get to this dir structure.

myproject/releases is often called myproject/tags in maven parlance.

I'm not sure if you have to port over any releases or branches, but if you do, I would try and close things out in cvs, then make a new branch in svn and a new release using mvn, using your new dir structure.

I wrote a document on this latter type of stuff which might help:

I have been using maven with cvs, and now am needing to move to subversion. And I am very confused at the how to deal with the ./branches, ./ releases, ./trunk I am seeing in an existing subversion project (that does not have maven currently).

I guess my confusion is that the ant project I am migrating is boken up into 3 different ars, but each has their own branch and trunk. Thus I was confused by trying o match that to a module in m2. So it seems that I am just going to have to create 1 maven project fo each jar.

Then however, my issue is how to I create an assembly that will contain all these jars, as well as some extra resources I need in my assembly?

Do I still create:

root pom
 --> ./jar1/trunk/**
 --> ./jar1/trunk/**
 --> ./trunk/src/main/assembly/*
 --> ./trunk/src/main/resources/*

and then I will have to build the subprojects seperately?
