Realistically, I don't think this is something that you're ever going to get "out of the box", and so you'll have to write your own plugin for this specific functionality.
"Go get source code for a project from my repo and unzip into this project" is just not a normal use case for Maven in my opinion. Its possible that you could add a dependency like: <dependency> <groupId>your.group</groupId> <artifactId>yourArtifact</artifactId> <version>yourVersion</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <classifier>source</classifier> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> And then perhaps somehow use the Assembly plugin to unjar the source into your project. I would try this route. If it works, please report back, but I'm not expecting much. I would expect that this is more of a "fringe" use case for Maven in general.
