open the ubuntu terminal goto your root directory and type:

export JAVA_HOME =

for example, it works fine for me {do the same in IntelliJ terminal}.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

to check the set value type echo $JAVA_HOME

to check the maven version type: mvn -version

you can find all path of JDKs by typing this command, and you can set JDK version.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

also check you have same java -version and javac -version.
