Not sure!  The old macOS installer and bundles work quite differently
from what I know.  A bundle is just a specially constructed folder
that can be launched from anywhere.  I like them, but then I grew up
using RiscOS, from where Apple nicked the idea along with the dock!

You haven't missed anything, at least definitely not obvious.  There
is an ant task in the RCP scripts for building a bundle.  I'd always
assumed it was in the main NetBeans build scripts too, but I couldn't
find it.
