Abbot tests on top of NetBeans are failing due to

org.netbeans.TopSecurityManager.checkSetSecurityManager(TopSecurityManager

One possible fix would be to run NetBeans with -Dnetbeans.security.nocheck=true and in this mode allow the change of SecurityManager.

arch.xml misprints the property name (twice); missing "no".
