Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 24
### What happened
I have noticed that if the same jar file maven artifact is being used by totally different projects, the "navigate to source" command links to the first available in projects tab. Closing the project that has the same artifact downloaded and the current project becomes the the first available, it links to the right place and opens the jar in current.
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
Java Maven
### How to reproduce
Create or open 2 projects that download the same jar artifact, from the second one try a "navigate to source" command
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
windows 10 x64
### JDK
21
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer
### Anything else
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Apache NetBeans 24 with two Java Maven projects using the same jar, then start from the Navigate to Source command and inspect how the source artifact is selected across open projects. Done means the command opens the source associated with the current project rather than the first project listed.
