Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 16
### What happened
Trying to move on to the newest version of NB, I noticed some errors warning in a backend project where I have Eclipselink (2.6.1), without validation-api or jakarta.validation-api dependencies and make use of Static Meta model (SMM) entities, for some entities (not all of them) the IDE is not generating the SMM and showing the following:
```

the same project works fine in NB 12 and 12.6

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Apache NetBeans 16 with EclipseLink 2.6.1 and JDK 11, then compare annotation processing with NetBeans 12 and 12.6. Trace the path through org.netbeans.modules.java.source.indexing.APTUtils and CanonicalModelProcessor; done means StaticMetaModel entities are generated without the ClassConstants failure.
