Question about Harness and Maven

[Jean-Marc Borer <jm...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I would like to understand what the famous netbeans "harness" is used for
and why it is necessary with Maven projects.

For example why should I define a netbeans.installation property?

I have seen that among the dependencies of the nbm-maven-plugin there is
also a harness dependency defined.

Thank you an advance for your help.

Cheers,

Jean-Marc
