[Cialug] Update maven2 in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

[Chris Freeman]

Hmm, I'm guessing that box hasn't been updated in at least 5 months... :-)

Generally, you'll want to find out if backports has a newer version
available. Or, just upgrade the whole box to a more recent version of Ubuntu
(or perhaps a different distro altogether...)

If any of those is not possible, you can uninstall it from apt-get and
install it from source or binary distribution directly from where you got
it. Note that this is less preferable from a support standpoint, but for
this particular machine, it should be fine.
