Java Help Integration does not work in NetBeans platform Application.

I am migrating from NetBeans 8.0 to Apache NetBeans 12.0. It does not successfully build.

An annotation processor threw an uncaught exception. Consult the following stack trace for details. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/help/search/Indexer
C:\Program Files\NetBeans-12.0\netbeans\harness\common.xml:204: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details. BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

Since the transfer of Netbeans to Apache JavaHelp was removed from Netbeans due to lincensing issues. To my knowledge JavaHelp has been removed due to its GPL license. Apache projects cannot distribute GPL.
