How to use ansible playbook to install maven?

- name: Download Apache Maven
  get_url: url=http://apache.claz.org/maven/maven-3/3.1.1/binaries/apache-maven--bin.tar.gz dest=/tmp/apache-maven--bin.tar.gz

- name: Untar Maven
  shell: chdir=/tmp creates=/opt/apache-maven- tar -zxf apache-maven--bin.tar.gz -C /opt

Then, what should I do to install maven?

Now days you can rely on roles published in galaxy. Search there to check

For example this: https://galaxy.ansible.com/tecris/maven

I think you can either update the $PATH to link to the downloaded maven files:

# your two commands

- name: Download Apache Maven 
  get_url: url=http://apache.claz.org/maven/maven-3/3.1.1/binaries/apache-maven--bin.tar.gz dest=/tmp/apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz

- name: Untar Maven 
  shell: chdir=/tmp creates=/opt/apache-maven-3.1.1 tar -zxf apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz -C /opt

# What is missing

- name: Update path for maven use
  shell: export PATH=/opt/apache-maven-3.1.1/bin:$PATH

Or simply install maven (if you don't need a very specific version) from the depots:

- name: install maven (and other packages if needed)
  become: yes
  apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=3600
  with_items:
    - maven

(Note: here you can install other packages by adding items in the with_items)
