Follow these steps:

In global tool configuration:

For Maven: Use the 3.3.9 version and check to install automatically.

Also, your JAVA_HOME does not seemed to have set up correctly.

For JAVA:use the java8 which is installed in VM Master, for that you have to set the JAVA_HOME and then you have to provide JAVA_HOME  in jenkins.

In the terminal run: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/

Copy the path /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/

Go to jenkins uncheck install automatically and then provide the path you just copied!

Use the below configuration in your Jenkins:

1)For Compiling, you have to give maven goal as compile (Refer the test screenshot below)

2)Test

3)cobertura

4)PMD Report

5)Archive
