When Using site goal on NetBeans Parent module it fails - Unable to resolve nbm-file artifact

the nbm-file type (and nbm for that matter) will only correctly be identified when the nbm-plugin is defined for the project and has the <extensions>true</extensions>. beware that while the "nbm" type gets resolved, it gets resolved wrongly as correctly it shall be a jar file without the transitive dependencies, but without extensions set, it resolves to the nbm file, rather than the jar file.

Here is a snipet of my POM file in the top level parent project NB App Parent.

Cannot reproduce using nbm-maven-plugin 3.6-SNAPSHOT and maven-site-plugin 3.0-beta-3 using Maven 3.0.3 on an app parent project. The parent site, and subsites for the app project and module projects, are all created without error.

I am reproducing this with 3.6 final, site 3.0, and mvn 3.0.3. Once caveat is that the NB pom is a sub of a larger aggregate project. For instance I have the layout:

parent
-NB
--application
--branding
--main module
--other module
-Some other
--Another sub
--Another sub2

I can run site:site from the NB folder, but I can not from the parent folder or I get this exact message. Jesse, are you able to reproduce like that? I will attempt to create a very simple use case for this using NB 7.0.1. If you have the ability to reopen issues here, then maybe you can. I can not as I don't have permissions.

Thanks

I am not able to reproduce it. If you can, please create a self-contained minimal test case (presumably a ZIP of a clean reactor tree plus instructions on which goal/phase to run with a specific Maven version) and attach it here.
