To set the project license on a per project basis, you need to set a property called
project.license to the value of the license you want to use. For example: If I want to use the Apache 2.0 license, I need to set the property to
project.license=apache20. This is accomplished by opening the project files and going to the nbproject directory. You will see a file called
project.properties, double click on it to edit it.
You then add the line to the of the properties and save. Any java source files created now will contain the Apache 2.0 license.

Thanks for sharing this information.
Do you also happen to know where I could change the default contents of the project-properties file?
I am not sure I understand which properties you are trying to set. Could you be a little more specific? Most of the projects are controled via the templates.
I am trying to change the contents of the default project.properties file.
I could then for instance say that by default my new projects have a gpl license by putting something like:
project.license=mygpl
into the default project.properties file.
It currently contains the following when I create a php-project:
include.path=${php.global.include.path}
php.version=PHP_5
source.encoding=UTF-8
src.dir=src
tags.asp=false
tags.short=true
web.root=.
