Hello Andreas!
I am using Ant, not Maven, but I believe that I am basically doing everything
through Ant that you are with Maven.
Also, I am actually using NotifyDescriptor to display messages, not JDialog as
I mentioned before.
I did find something regarding the icons that show up in the NotifyDescriptor
boxes. If I specify --laf Nimbus or --laf Metal on the command line when
starting my app, those LAFs are used, and the appropriate question,
information, etc. icons will show up in the NotifyDescriptor dialogs. If I
don't specify an LAF, or specify "--laf Aqua" (which is the default for Mac and
the same as not specifying an LAF), the generic java icon shows up in all the
NotifyDescriptor dialogs.
Specifying an LAF, however, does not affect the dock icon. For all LAFs, the
dock icon still changes from my branding icon to the generic Java icon after it
is done bouncing, and then back to my branding icon once the application is
closed. I checked the application log file, but there is nothing in there that
would indicate any issues with icons.
I am still using Netbeans 8.2, and the Mac installer is working there, so I
can't comment on that issue.
Thank You!

this is a bit tricky.
Take a look at app.conf in XXX-app. You can also check the etc/netbeans.conf of
your NetBeans installation.
I use this, i start my App at the moment from the Project/bin
default_options="--branding tachyon -J-Xms256m -J-Xmx256m
-J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
-J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true
-J-Xdock:icon=$progdir/../$APPNAME/applicationIcon.icns
-J-Xdock:name=Tachyon"
The icon is not shown, and the dock name is still java.
Maybe you can investigate a little bit.
Are you using Maven? The part for the installer.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

But at the moment the installer (10.0 - 11.2) is broken, if you try to install
your app. I got issues with missing Apple packages:

I use the RELEASE112 of the NetBeans Platform. I just created a issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3342
