Hi Suneel Kumar Boyapati,Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Check Maven Installation Path: Ensure that Maven is installed in the correct directory by running which mvn. This should return the path to the Maven executable.

Update Environment Variables: Add the following lines to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file to ensure the environment variables are correctly set:

export MAVEN_HOME=/path/to/your/maven
export PATH=$MAVEN_HOME/bin:$PATH

Replace /path/to/your/maven with the actual path to your Maven installation. Then, run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes.

Verify Permissions: Ensure that the user running the Maven command has the necessary permissions to access the Maven and JAVA_HOME directories.

Check for Multiple Java Installations: If there are multiple Java installations, ensure that the correct Java version is being used by running java -version. Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the correct Java installation.

Restart the System: Sometimes, a system restart may be required for the changes to take effect. Please restart your system and verify if the issue persists.
