1. I've downloaded ice jars from zeroc.com :
we need only: ant-ice-3.4.2.jar, Ice-3.4.2.jar.

2. Add jars to my local maven repository:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ant-ice-3.4.2.jar -DgroupId=com.zeroc -DartifactId=ant-ice -Dversion=3.4.2 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=Ice-3.4.2.jar -DgroupId=com.zeroc -DartifactId=ice -Dversion=3.4.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dsources=Ice-3.4.2.jar

3. Create pom.xml using ant-run plugin to run slice2java:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

* I added "ice.include.path" property because I'm using #include <BuiltinSequences.ice> in my *.ice definitions
** build-helper-maven-plugin add generated sources to compile process

Hope it will help you!
