You can install Maven in RAD 8.5.1 only using the IBM Installation Manager. You cannot install Maven using the update site. – srgsanky

It took me a bit of effort to figure this out, so here's an expanded answer:

  • In the IBM Installation Manager, click "Modify".
  • Find the IBM Software Delivery Platform that includes IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5
  • Click "Next" to get to the language page
  • Click "Next" to get to the feature selection page
  • Maven is listed under IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere -> Collaborative development and build tools
  • Click "Next", then "Modify" and let the installation manager do its thing.
