Session beans cannot be generated for entity classes

[aadiaf]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 20

What happened

Till version 18, it was straight forward with no problems of using the wizard of creating session beans for entity classes, but this version, 20, gives an error saying "Cannot be generated because EJB Lite classes are not available on project classpath".
Also the wizard of "creating entity classes from database" in version 20 does not produce validation annotation as before in version 18.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

Java EE Maven Web Application

How to reproduce

What I do now is use version 18 to help me producing entities from database and their session beans (Facades) and proceed in version 20

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 18

Operating System

Windows 10

JDK

11, 17

Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans provided installer

Anything else

Every time

There was at least one wrong change, that might have influenced this. This report is lacking a clear error report, as no steps to reproduce are given. Based on my interpretation I created #7080, which should fix this.

@aadiaf there is a nightly build available from the checks page: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/actions/runs/7963454053 or directly https://github.com/apache/netbeans/actions/runs/7963454053/artifacts/1257313039. It is available for the next 5 days. Please test it.
