Maven 2 is in the repositories, but not Maven 3. How do I properly install Maven 3? Guides that I found don't really work properly.
I am using Natty, but I am sure this won't change anything.
Maven3 is the default in Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)
Maven2 is the latest in the repositories for 11.10.
PPAs for maven3 seem rather scarce - here is one for maverick - although not the very latest version available.
The best advice is to stay with the stable version available for your distro version.
However if you like to keep up-to-date yourself it is very straightforward to download the code and install yourself.
Download the .tar.gz file from here and follow the installation guidance on the same web-page
