How to modify the main Method of a 'NetBeans Platform'-based application?


I am working on a Maven- and 'NetBeans Platform'-based Java desktop application. My use case requires setting a system property as the very first step before anything else happens. I need to do this in the main method, because using a static block in the ModulInstall is too late for my requirements. The challenge I'm facing is that I can't locate the main method in my 'NetBeans Platform'-based Java desktop application.

Can someone guide me on where to find the main method in a 'NetBeans Platform'-based application, or how I can write my own main method for this type of application? I appreciate any insights or solutions to this issue.

    I utilized a custom main method to set the system property as the initial step, ensuring it precedes any other actions. Afterward, I invoked NetBeans's main method.
