Description

The while loop in the shell script where we look for the .mvn directory is wrong:

find_maven_basedir() {
  local basedir=$(pwd)
  local wdir=$(pwd)
  while [ "$wdir" != '/' ] ; do
    wdir=$(cd "$wdir/.."; pwd)
    if [ -d "$wdir"/.mvn ] ; then
      basedir=$wdir
      break
    fi
  done
  echo "${basedir}"
}

Should be

find_maven_basedir() {
  local basedir=$(pwd)
  local wdir=$(pwd)
  while [ "$wdir" != '/' ] ; do
    if [ -d "$wdir"/.mvn ] ; then
      basedir=$wdir
      break
    fi
    wdir=$(cd "$wdir/.."; pwd)
  done
  echo "${basedir}"
}

That way if the current directory contains .mvn the loop terminates immediately.
