Thanks! I ended up using Neil's approach for setting the default LAF with the
bundle, adding LookAndFeelClassName=com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf to the
branding bundle and adding the following to my NetBeans Platform application
pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.netbeans.modules</groupId>
<artifactId>org-netbeans-swing-laf-flatlaf</artifactId>
<version>${netbeans.version}</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
This still lets the user modify the LAF later through the Tools-->Options
dialog, which is what I wanted in my case.

I'd suggest doing what the IDE itself does, which uses branding but not the laf
property. It's much simpler. See the PR that added this to the IDE, and my
own use of this in an RCP application.
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3332
https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/branding/modules/org-netbeans-swing-plaf.jar/org/netbeans/swing/plaf/Bundle.properties
One thing to be aware of, whichever method you use, is that you need a
dependency on org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf in one of your modules to force
the customs to load. It's a bug IMO that that module is set to autoload.
Best wishes,
Neil
