Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 19

### What happened

If a project using the module system depends on a Maven artifact that contains a module-info.class file inside of a multi-release directory, the using project is not informed of its existence. I assume that the Java model created for the multi-release jar is not properly accounting for its multi-release nature.

### How to reproduce

I have attached a zip file that contains to Maven project: multirelease and app. Their names should be self-explanatory.
[multi-release-model-issue.zip](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/files/12795436/multi-release-model-issue.zip)

### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

### Operating System

MacOS 14

### JDK

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu21.28+85-CA (build 21+35, mixed mode, sharing)

### Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans provided installer

### Anything else

The same issue is present on my Linux machine.

### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Research direction

Start by opening the attached multi-release-model-issue.zip and reproducing the problem with the multirelease and app Maven projects in NetBeans 19. Investigate how the Java model handles module-info.class in a multi-release directory; done means the using project is informed of the module descriptor in the dependency.
