I just tried the same - e.g.: 1. start with empty dir 2. create new project Maven/NetBeans Application and everything worked for me. If I look to Tools/Plugins the "Java SE" feature is fully enabled (it is probably not in your case according to messages.log). Try to reproduce with clean user dir. If the problem persists, reopen, we can investigate more. Otherwise, it is "worksforme".
