I posted below back in September - this works, but is painful.
A less hacky way to fix this would be to use the options in the nbm-maven-plugin to replace the broken harness files. Run mvn help:describe -Dplugin=nbm -Ddetail to get the documentation. Look at the options to build-installers, in particular templateFile and userSettings. I'm pretty sure you can redefine/replace the various harness file definitions there.
Note that I haven't tried this yet (although it's on my list for next week). See also https://www.mojohaus.org/nbm-maven-plugin/plugin-info.html and https://www.mojohaus.org/nbm-maven-plugin/buildinstexample.html. I can't seem to find a more recent help page on the plugin, presumably one will show up on the portal at some point, I had to read the plugin source to figure a lot of things out.
I've just migrated my RCP project to a Maven-based build, and fixing the installer bug was a bit more involved. To begin the migration, I constructed a maven nb platform project using the guide on https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-maven-quickstart.html. Note that adding child projects didn't work, I had to construct those projects by hand. The key thing is that your project will have an "-App" module whose pom has <packaging>nbm-application</packaging> and a plugin block like:<profile> <id>deployment</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.netbeans.utilities</groupId> <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>4.2-installBugfix</version> <executions> <execution> <id>extra</id> <goals> <goal>autoupdate</goal> <goal>webstart-app</goal> <goal>build-installers</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile>when you do a 'mvn -Pdeployment install', it should build an installer for you, but you get the error about Java version 1.5 being to old. As described below, the problem is that there are two property files with bad properties in the ant-based build harness that need to be fixed.It turns out that the harness of ant scripts is now installed and run by the plugin, not using the harness installed with your netbeans installation, so you will have to fix the javac.{source,target}=1.5 bug in the plugin. (If you have an ant-based build system for your RCP, then fix the files inyour nb installation as in the message included below). Instructions below are a hack, but they got me up and running: First:* Download nbm-maven-harness source from https://github.com/apache/netbeans-mavenutils-nbm-maven-harness/tree/nbm-maven-harness-11.0, unpack. * 'mvn install' to build the source. Edit the two project.properties files under "target" to fix the javac.* properties (use find, or see below for paths). * Edit the pom, change the version to <version>11.0-installBugfix</version>. Disable the large block in the pom beginning: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> ... </plugin>. This will prevent the second buildyou are about to do from overwriting your fixes.* Run 'mvn install'. This installs a plugin with fixed harness files to your .m2 repository.m2\repository\org\apache\netbeans\utilities\nbm-maven-harness\11.0-installBugfix. Next:* Download nbm-maven-plugin source from https://github.com/apache/netbeans-mavenutils-nbm-maven-plugin, unpack. * Go into pom, modify version to be <version>4.2-installBugfix</version>, go to dependencies, change the version for nbm-maven-harness to 11.0-installBugfix.* Run 'mvn install', this installs the fixed plugin to .m2\repository\org\apache\netbeans\utilities\nbm-maven-plugin\4.2-installBugfix Finally:Go to the application pom for your Project (say MavenNBProject-app), and change the version of nbm-maven-plugin to <version>4.2-installBugfix</version>.You should be able to build installers using the nbm-maven-plugin.

Use 1.6 or later.I don't have a deep understanding of the build harness, but it looked like an empty application, helloworld, was being added to the installer, and the compile was failing it due to too low a javac.{source,target} specification.Setting javac.{source,target}=1.8 in my toplevel project.properties didn't fix the problem.Editing CoolBeans\harness\nbi\stub\ext\components\products\helloworld\nbproject\ project.properties and changing javac.source=1.8 javac.target=1.8 fixed the problem.I know folks are managing a lot of changes with the move to apache, and this is a little problem, but it should be simple to fix and will save others the couple of hours I took to track it down.Thanks for your work.
