Error compiling old NetBeans Platform application with 12.6

[Tim Mullé <tm...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I just tried to update my existing 12.5 NB Platform Application to compile under 12.6 by changing my maven property from:
It works fine if I leave it to RELEASE125 but I just wanted to update to the latest code.

<netbeans.version>RELEASE125</netbeans.version>

To 

<netbeans.version>RELEASE126</netbeans.version>

And two things happened:

1. I can’t compile the application because I get an error:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nbm-maven-plugin:4.6:manifest (default-manifest) on project ImportMeshSupport: Uncategorized problems with NetBeans dependency verification (maybe MNBMODULE-102 or wrong maven dependency metadata). Supposedly external classes are used in the project's binaries but the classes are not found on classpath. Class usages: [org.LatencyUtils.PauseDetector, org.LatencyUtils.SimplePauseDetector, org.LatencyUtils.IntervalEstimator, org.LatencyUtils.TimeCappedMovingAverageIntervalEstimator] -> [Help 1]


2. If I disable the checking of the modules in my ImportMeshSupport module using the maven snippet below, then the app builds fine but fails to run with the errors below:

I changed “verifyRuntime” to skip instead of fail to make it compile
