on ubuntu 18.04, the latest maven version from apt is still Apache Maven 3.6.0, which doesn’t support jdk17, and we will get the above titled error when executing mvn install.
to fix this, we need to manually download and install apache-maven-3.8.5.
cd /tmp
wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gz
tar xvf apache-maven-3.8.5-bin.tar.gzcd /usr/share/maven
sudo cp /tmp/apache-maven-3.8.5/* .
now we have
$ mvn -version
