I''m running a Jenkins Ubuntu Master with an OS X Slave

I can't get a build step "Invoking top-level Maven targets" to run on a slave.

I get a

FATAL: command execution failed

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "mvn"

I've tried setting environment variables and that works for a shell script build step but not a Maven build step.
I've tried setting Tool Locations on the slave to point at the slave's Maven installation and that doesn't work.

How is this supposed to be accomplished?

Could the cause be this open Jenkins bug?

What're the values in Manage Jenkins > Maven Installations?

Assuming it's the default, it could be a class path issue depending on the shell used to start the OS X slave.

What happens if you explicitly set the MAVEN_HOME value to it's absolutely path (ex: /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.3) ?
