Before everything, run the classic update upgrade

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Search and Install with APT

Now search and install recent Java

apt list -a | grep openjdk

// Found and use the most recent version
sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

Then maven

apt list -a | grep maven

// Found Maven
sudo apt install maven

Bonus: How to purge older java

Search for the package

sudo apt list --installed | grep jdk

Purge that package by the name before slash /

For example, mine are JRE 11

sudo apt purge openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jre-headless
