netbeans-javaagent.jar is used as temporary workaround to patch a JDK bug which caused copy/paste issues on windows. It is meant to be active for NetBeans itself, not necessarily for platform applications (#8361).

You can copy the jar or remove the "-J-javaagent:..." jvm argument from the application launch config if you are not worried about the bug.

JDK 25 will contain the fix so it won't be needed anymore (JDK-8353950).
