by default ubuntu comes with openjdk. I installed jdk from sun, and removed openjdk, but with openjdk I had to remove maven2. How can I reinstall it without installing openjdk?

~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode)

~$ sudo apt-get install maven2
(...)
The following extra packages will be installed:
(...)
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless
  openjdk-6-jre-lib
(...)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
(...)
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless
  openjdk-6-jre-lib

Any help appreciated, I have googled a lot and I haven’t found any solution :/

    You can simply download tar.gz archive from Maven web-site and unpack it to some directory like this (will unpack it to /opt):

    tar -xzvf apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz -C /opt

    After it you need to set $M2_HOME variable:

    export M2_HOME=<path_to_maven>

    And add it to PATH:

    export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin

    To check you can launch:

    mvn -version

    Note:
    If it does not work for all the terminals.
    Performed the below steps.
    Become superuser.

    Fire below commands.

    nano /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

    Paste the below lines.

    export M2_HOME=<path_to_maven>

    export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin

    ctrl +O to save and ctrl +X to exit.

    Fire the below commands.

    chmod +x /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

mvn -version
