Here is the goals available for maven nbm plugin version 3.7
Name: NBM Maven Plugin
Description: Maven plugin for creating NetBeans modules. It defines a custom
  lifecycle called 'nbm'. During packaging, the module JAR is enhanced with
  NetBeans-specific manifest entries and, along with other required files,
  packed into a *.nbm file, ready for distribution. Additionally the plugin
  provides aggregator goals to create an update site or cluster for your module
  projects.
Group Id: org.codehaus.mojo
Artifact Id: nbm-maven-plugin
Version: 3.7
Goal Prefix: nbm

This plugin has 13 goals:

nbm:autoupdate

  Description: Create the NetBeans auto update site definition.

nbm:branding

  Description: Package branding resources for NetBeans platform/IDE based
    application. The format of branding resources is the same as in NetBeans
    Ant-based projects. The src/main/nbm-branding folder of the project is
    assumed to contain the branding content. Within the directory, the
    following folder structure is assumed:
    - 1. pick the IDE/platform module which contents you want to brand. eg.
      org-openide-windows.jar
    - 2. locate the jar within the IDE/platform installation and it's cluster,
      eg. modules/org-openide-windows.jar
    - 3. create the same folder structure in src/main/nbm-branding, make folder
      with the module's jar name as well. eg. create folder by name
      modules/org-openide-windows.jar
    - 4. within that folder place your branding modifications at the same
      location, as if they were withn the jar, eg.
      org/openide/windows/ui/Bundle.properties and place the changed bundle
      keys there.

nbm:build-installers

  Description: (no description available)

nbm:cluster

  Description: Create the NetBeans module clusters from reactor.
    Semi-deprecated; used only for standalone modules and 'suites'.

nbm:cluster-app

  Description: Create the NetBeans module clusters/application for the
    'nbm-application' packaging projects

nbm:help

  Description: Display help information on nbm-maven-plugin.
    Call
      mvn nbm:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name>
    to display parameter details.

nbm:manifest

  Description: Goal for generating NetBeans module system specific manifest
    entries, part of 'nbm' lifecycle/packaging. In order to have the generated
    manifest picked up by the maven-jar-plugin, one shall add the following
    configuration snippet to maven-jar-plugin.

 
<plugin>
    <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>
    <artifactid>maven-jar-plugin</artifactid>
    <version>2.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <usedefaultmanifestfile>true</usedefaultmanifestfile>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

nbm:nbm

  Description: Create the NetBeans module artifact (nbm file), part of 'nbm'
    lifecycle/packaging.

nbm:populate-repository

  Description: A goal for identifying NetBeans modules from the installation
    and populating the local repository with them. Optionally you can also
    deploy to a remote repository.
    If you are looking for an existing remote repository for NetBeans
    artifacts, check out http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/, it contains API
    artifacts for multiple releases.
    http://bits.netbeans.org/netbeans/trunk/maven-snapshot/ may also be used
    for SNAPSHOT artifacts if you wish to test development builds.

    See this HOWTO on how to generate the NetBeans binaries required by this
    goal.

    Compatibility Note: The 3.0+ version puts all unrecognized, non-module, 3rd
    party jars in the org.netbeans.external group and adds them as dependencies
    to respective modules. That can cause backward incompatibility with earlier
    versions which generated incomplete (different) maven metadata.

nbm:run-ide

  Description: Run NetBeans IDE with additional custom module clusters, to be
    used in conjunction with nbm:cluster. Semi-deprecated; used only for
    standalone modules and 'suites'.

nbm:run-platform

  Description: Run a branded application on top of NetBeans Platform. To be
    used with projects with nbm-application packaging only and the project
    needs to be built first.

nbm:standalone-zip

  Description: Create a standalone application out of the composed clusters
    of nbm-application

nbm:webstart-app

  Description: Create webstartable binaries for a 'nbm-application'.
