Answer 1

I faced the same issue. Sadly I just could update to 3.6.3 via the package manager so I installed it manually. Steps to install on ubuntu below:

Maven 3.3+ requires JDK 1.7 or above to be installed.

Download Apache Maven. I installed 3.8.6, you can check for the newest version here: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

We save the archive to /tmp

$ TMP_MAVEN_VERSION=3.8.6
$ wget https://apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/$TMP_MAVEN_VERSION/binaries/apache-maven-$TMP_MAVEN_VERSION-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp

Then unzip it to /opt and remove the archive

$ sudo tar xf /tmp/apache-maven-*.tar.gz -C /opt
$ sudo rm /tmp/apache-maven-*-bin.tar.gz

Next we create a sym-link

$ sudo ln -s /opt/apache-maven-$TMP_MAVEN_VERSION /opt/maven

Lastly we set up the env

$ sudo echo "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}" >> /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

To use it without restarting we make it executable and run in

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/maven.sh
$ source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

Now you can verify that it is properly installed

$ mvn -v

Maven home: /opt/maven
Java version: 17, vendor: Private Build, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64

As of 2021/10/25, maven is not supporting Java 17.

Create vi ~/.mavenrc file and give any version lower than 17.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-16-openjdk-amd64/

Answer 4

I met the same mistake as you. my os version is ubuntu 20.04 LTS .

the reason is maven version(3.6.3) is old.

download lastest bin version (apache-maven-3.8.6-bin.zip) from https://maven.apache.org

i decompress files to /data/app/maven/3.8.6/apache-maven-3.8.6/bin

using command like this export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/ && /data/app/maven/3.8.6/apache-maven-3.8.6/bin/mvn

it works well on my machine
