I installed Java JDK on Ubuntu 12.04 and added Java home to my path at ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=/opt/jdk1.7.0_40/jdk1.7.0_40/bin:$PATH

This looks a little bit strange but it's really my path.

After this I installed maven through:

sudo apt-get install maven

It installed all the needed libraries and now when I run mvn -version, I see:

Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.  

We cannot execute /opt/jdk1.7.0_40/bin/java

What is wrong with it?

You should add these lines to your ~/.pam_environment file instead (create it if it doesn't exist)

PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:/opt/jdk1.7.0_40/jdk1.7.0_40/bin

JAVA_HOME DEFAULT=/opt/jdk1.7.0_40/jdk1.7.0_40

Using .bashrc is not recommended at the above link.
