Unable to use pulumi in a Maven multi-module project

[cowwoc]

What happened?

error: failed to discover plugin requirements: language host could not determine Pulumi packages: could not find ./mvnw, mvn on the $PATH: exec: "mvn": executable file not found in %PATH%

Example

1. Create a multi-module Maven project containing mvnw in the root
2. Place the pulumi-java project in a sub-module
3. Run pulumi up
4. Pulumi will complain:

error: failed to discover plugin requirements: language host could not determine Pulumi packages: could not find ./mvnw, mvn on the $PATH: exec: "mvn": executable file not found in %PATH%

Creating symbol links from the mvnw installation in the root module does not help (I get the same error). If I copy the files over, the error goes away, but obviously it's bad to maintain copies as they will fall out-of-sync.

Ideally, pulumi should scan the ancestor directories one at a time looking for mvnw and use the existing installation without needing a local copy or symbol link.
