I'm working on a Gradle project with multiple sub modules. Some of these are using maven. Thus one Gradle task is running maven from the MAVEN_HOME directory. This task is called by IntelliJ IDEA during Gradle refresh. When running IntelliJ Community Edition 2021.1 on an Ubuntu 20_05 VM, everything works fine. When running the same version of IntelliJ Windows with WSL 2, the task fails with error
MAVEN_HOME environment variable not set, unable to locate mvn executable for build
When I open a shell in WSL, I see that the MAVEN_HOME is actually set. I've defined it in my ~/.profile file. I can build my project from the terminal command line. IntelliJ IDEA uses the Gradle wrapper for building the project. It uses the shebang #!/bin/env sh. So it is not opening a login shell und thus the ~/.profile files are not read.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
