In previous versions of NetBeans an Ant project used to provide this capability but Ant package as seems to be broken in NetBeans 12. For example, using: Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0 Java: 14.0.1; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 14.0.1+7 Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 14.0.1+7 We get /AntProject/nbproject/build-native.xml:519: typedef class com.sun.javafx.tools.ant.FXJar cannot be found using the classloader AntClassLoader[]. In order to use Maven which as you say appears not to support we now use jpackage successfully. We have also mastered the issues around Apple notarization needed to distribute an .app or .dmg. So now we are working on a Java app that will do all the steps in one click for any application ! I agree it would be nice to find a NetBeans plugin for Maven to do all the packaging. If one needs writing then I am happy to contribute the logic and worked examples. David Gradwell
