Question

Ubuntu packages for 8.04 only goes upto version 2.0.8 of Maven. How do I install maven 2.0.9 package using apt-get or other Ubuntu package installer ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Try to download and install a .deb from the "maven2" package. Not sure this will work though.

But actually, my advice would be to install Maven manually (download the distribution, extract it, add $M2_HOME/bin to the $PATH and there you go).
