Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 20
### What happened
Created a new NetBeans Module Project under Java with Ant -> NetBeans Modules -> Module. Right-clicked on the project and selected New -> Other... Selected Module Development -> JavaHelp Help Set. Files were created as expected but the javahelp-hs.xml file looks incomplete and causes a parsing error in the package-info.java file.

Research direction
Reproduce the Java Ant NetBeans Module project workflow and inspect the generated javahelp-hs.xml file, especially the incomplete final view shown in the report. Check how that output is parsed in package-info.java and verify that the generated help-set XML is complete and no parsing error remains.
