I am setting up static analysis with Lava Tools in a Java maven project. I need the static analysis to run in a virtual environment with python 3.8.x. I’ve set up my pom.xml with the below but my python 3.8 virtual environment winds up in my project root instead of in the java java.io.tmpdir folder. And the python version that gets installed in the java.io.tmpdir venv folder defaults to 3.12 which is the python default version in macOS non-virtual environment. How can I get the static analysis to run in the 3.8 virtual environment?

    <properties>
        <main.basedir>${project.parent.basedir}</main.basedir>
        <lava-tool-version>1.0.3</lava-tool-version>
        <static-analysis-config>static_analysis_config.ini</static-analysis-config>
          <venv-dir>${project.build.directory}/venv</venv-dir>
    </properties>

        <properties>

        </properties>

    </profiles>

The static analysis ini file contains:

[COMMON]
build_report_branch=master

[STATIC_ANALYSIS.JAVA]
mvn.root.pom.dir=..

And mvn clean install results in the following error:
