Standards-Based Project System
The NetBeans IDE uses industry-standards build technologies, this means
you can build and run your projects outside the IDE exactly the same as inside the IDE.
You can import Eclipse and JBuilder projects. Imported Eclipse projects
stay synchronized with their original when you modify them in Eclipse.
Java projects use the non-proprietary Apache Ant 1.7.1 by default,
and can be configured to use Maven.
C and C++ projects use make, and Ruby projects use rake.

Hudson Continuous Build Server
The NetBeans IDE supports Hudson continuous build servers for
Maven and (Ant-based) Java SE project types;
the project files can be versioned using Subversion or Mercurial.
Use the Services window to add a Hudson server;
in a Maven project, configure your pom.xml file to point to the Hudson server
and NetBeans connects automatically.
To start continous build jobs,
right-click a Hudson Builder node in the Services window,
or create a new job using the Team menu.

Hudson Status Reports
Browse your hosted jobs, builds, workspaces, and artifacts,
and inspect the build console in the IDE's output window.
Every time a build fails, you get notificied immediately in the IDE's status bar.
To find out why a job failed,
right-click a build node and inspect stack traces for all failed tests.
You can also view the changelog and browse file diffs in a user-friendly way,
right inside the IDE.
Apache Maven Projects 
The NetBeans IDE supports Apache Maven,
a software project tool to manage a project's dependencies, build,
reporting and documentation.
Open, build, run, profile and deploy your existing Maven projects,
or create new ones based on Maven Archetypes.
use the context menu to quickly update the POMs of projects hosted on Kenai.com.
Use the Maven integration for Java SE, web applications,
Groovy and Scala projects, Java EE 6 and EJB projects,
including full support for JAX-WS Web Services.
It's now easier to register an application server for Java EE projects,
and select web frameworks such as Spring or Struts.
You can configure with which JDK the Maven build will be executed.
Use the Maven Checkstyle plugin to bootstrap code formatting rules
in the Project properties.
The editor supports Compile On Save / Deploy on Save and
includes a new Quick Fix hint that helps you identify artifacts in repositories
that contain unknown classes or interfaces.
Apache Maven POM Editor
When running, testing, or debugging,
the IDE executes Maven goals from your pom.xml file,
or you can remap custom Maven goals to IDE actions.
Benefit from code completion, code templates, documentation popups,
code generators, and hyperlinking,
when modifying your pom.xml, settings.xml, or profiles.xml files
in the XML editor.

Apache Maven Library Dependency Management
View library dependencies, runtime dependencies, and test library dependencies:
The listing distinguishes transitive versus direct dependencies,
and marks the local availability of javadoc and sources.
The Maven Repository Browser displays the contents of
the central, the local, and the NetBeans repository.
You can add your own repositories, search for artifacts,
and add artifacts as dependencies to projects.
Use the menu actions to download all library sources;
install artifacts, sources or javadocs;
remove direct dependencies, and exclude transitive dependencies.
If meta-info is available, you can navigate to the library home page.
