3.6.0

   I'm not sure that this is a good way to align the Maven version to the 
version supported by the system package manager.
   For example, for people who use Ubuntu 16.04LTS, only [Maven 
3.3.9](https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/maven) was available, but people who 
already use Ubuntu 20.04 can install [Maven 
3.6.3](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/maven). I don't remember time when I 
hadn't to install it manually from the binary archive on CentOS 6.X and some 
7.X versions. For macOS, brew already provides Maven 3.6.3.
   
   But having a newer Maven version allows using newer plugin versions with 
their new features.
   
   As a side point, Apache Spark also uses Maven 3.6.3: 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/pom.xml#L118.
   
   For your case, I would recommend either adding new release mirror `deb 
http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe` to 
`/etc/apt/sources.list` and installing newer version using the apt package 
manager or downloading the package from 
[there](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/all/maven/download) and installing it 
using `dpgk -i`.
   I have tried the first option on Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked fine for me.
