Question

I wonder whether I can setting up a private maven repository based on my svn.
The svn can be accessed via http.

If yes, then what should I do? Just uploading the architypes is enough?

While subversion is not really made for that, yes, Maven can deploy through WebDAV so it is possible (a lot of people are actually doing this for their google-code projects).

If you want to set this up for an existing maven project (and have the created artifacts deployed to your SNV repository during the deploy phase), adapt the solution described in Hosting a Maven repository on Google Code.

If you just want to add a particular artifacts, use the deploy:deploy-file goal:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DrepositoryId="internal" \
    -Durl="dav:https://server/repo" \
    -Dfile="some-jar.jar" \
    -DgroupId="my.groupid" \
    -DartifactId="my-artifactid" \
    -Dversion="1.2.3" \
    -Dpackaging=jar \
    -DgeneratePom=true

Under GNU/Linux, you can paste this command as is; under Windows, run it on one line without the \.
