This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
It looks like there are two problems: - The property defined in pom.xml <netbeans.hint.license>${project.basedir}/../Bar/license-proprietary.fm</netbeans.hint.license> is treated as a relative path to the templates directory. If it is an absolute path then it should be not be resolved relative to the templates/Licences - .txt is appended to the path A sanitized log is included below: INFO

the license path returned by maven's CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider implementation is "Users/mikeduigou/code/Foo/../Bar/license-proprietary.fm" so far not sure what maven could do about the reported problem please evaluate
See [1], section "License Header" The file needs to be registered using Tools -> Templates -> (item) Licenses -> Add... -> (select e.g. license-MY_NAME.txt file) -> Add If the file name doesn't match "license-*.txt" format, you can use the "Rename" button after adding it. Then, the property in pom.xml will contain only the middle part of the file name: <netbeans.hint.license>MY_NAME</netbeans.hint.license> Hope this helps.
