Ok, in your home directory, there is a file called .bash_profile . If there isn't, you'd better make sure your account is set up correctly... So, you can either add this line at the end:

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local
or do this:
(by the way, this is personally how I would do it, since I like having a short $PATH...)

ln -s /usr/local/java /usr/bin/
(as root)

All of this is assuming "/usr/local/java" is the binary file, as opposed to a directory containing the java files... A good way to check that is to type /usr/local/java, and if it executes, follow the above directions... If it gives you an error, you need to find the binaries, and add their directory to your path, or link them to a place already in your path.

mh_linkjar

MAVEN(1)							   User Commands							  MAVEN(1)

NAME

       Maven - Creates a link in /usr/share/maven-repo for an existing jar.

SYNOPSIS

       mh_linkjar [option]... [pom] [dest_jar] [link]...

DESCRIPTION

       Create  symlinks for a jar installed by other means. The symlinks created include links to the jar in /usr/share/maven-repo, at the correct
       location for Maven.  It can also create additional links to the jar, usually located in /usr/share/java.

       Where

	      [pom] is the location of the POM associated with the jar to install.

	      GroupId, artifactId and version will be extracted from this file.

	      [dest_jar] is the path of the installed jar, usually located in the

	      usr/share/java folder.

	      [link] is an additional link to the jar to install, usually there should

	      be a link to usr/share/java/$jar.jar and usr/share/java/$jar-$version.jar to comply with the Java packaging  guidelines.	Note  that
	      there is no need to specify those particular links if the --java-lib option is used.

OPTIONS

       -h --help: show this text

       -V --version: show the version

       -p<package> --package=<package>: name of the Debian package which

	      will contain this jar file

       -e<version>, --set-version=<version>: set the version for the jar,

	      do not use the version declared in the POM file.

       -r<rules> --rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

	      rules to apply when cleaning the POM.  Optional, the default location is debian/maven.rules Maven rules are used here to extract the
	      groupId, artifactId and version from the POM file.

       -l --java-lib: Optional, if given it will install the jar into

	      /usr/share/java to comply with the Debian Java specification.  The jar will be installed as /usr/share/java/$name-$version.jar and a
	      versionless link /usr/share/java/$name.jar will point to it, as well as the links installed in /usr/share/maven-repo

       -n<name> --usj-name=<name>: Optional, the name to use when installing the

	      library in /usr/share/java when --java-lib is used.  Defaults to the artifact id found in the POM.

       -j<version> --usj-version=<version>: Optional, the version to use when

	      installing the library in /usr/share/java when --java-lib is used.  Defaults to the version found in the POM.

       -s --no-usj-versionless: Optional, don't install the versionless link

	      in /usr/share/java.  This flag is used only when the -l or --java-lib option is given.

       -c<classifier> --classifier=<classifier>: Optional, the classifier for

	      the jar. Empty by default.

       -v --verbose: show more information while running

       -n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results

       --skip-clean-pom: don't clean the pom, assume that a previous action ran

	      mh_cleanpom with the correct options. mh_cleanpom is run only to extract the groupId, artifactId and version of the jar
