Hallo,

I wonder if anybody has tried to create to create a new File Type using the
mavenized module project. Let me be more specific.

   - NetBeans 11.3
   - Follow this tutorial
   <https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/71/nbm-filetype.html> to create
   a new File type, but instead of creating a "Java with Ant -> NetBeans
   Modules -> Module" to create a NB module, use a "Java with Maven ->
   NetBeans Module" NB module.
   - If you follow the steps of the tutorial using the Ant NB module,
   everything runs fine and you can open the file with the defined extension
   in a MultiView seeing both Source and Visual buttons (and History)
   - If you follow the tutorial's steps using the Maven NB module, then the
   file type registration seems to not be successful; when you open a file
   with the defined extension the MultiView only shows the Source (and
   History) button(s), i.e. no Visual and if you open the Properties window it
   says that the file type is not recognized.
      - Steps are:
         1. New > Other > Module Development > File Type, which
creates the *DataObject.java,
         VisualElement.java *and the *Template *file.


   1. Is it a bug or am I 'm doing something wrong?
   2. There seems to not be a lot of tutorials around; I would appreciate
   if you could point me to a better one than the one I mention, or I could
   write an updated tutorial (if it works and I have done something wrong)

Thank you in advance for the prompt reply.

John.
