This is the “SystemWide” argument, which IIRC netbeans sets to false by default, this is NetBeans doing and not the packager.  I still don’t understand why they invert that default.  And it’s a pain to configure.

On your project, RMC and select properties.  Go to build/deployment and turn on the advanced JavaFX properties.  There is a scary dialog about changing the project files format.  Save a backup first.

Now it re-loads the project.  Go to the same dialog and about 2/3 of the way down is a checkbox “Install Permanently,” check it.

If you use the CLI or the Ant files w/o NetBeans help it is set to system wide by default, it is the JavaFX project (which makes sensible decisions for a webstart-centric app) that makes things confusing.
