Hi,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian netbeans package.
I have CC'ed you for now because I wasn't sure if you had subscribed
to the list or not (usually we will assume people are subscribed
unless otherwise stated).

Great. :)

jh_build is for generating a template packaging when none is present
(and preferably, packages not using maven). Since netbeans already
have some packaging it is sort of useless.

Since there is some packaging available, a simple dpkg-buildpackage
should do. Though you will (eventually) have to do the building in a
sid chroot. Here you might want to use e.g. pbuilder, cowbuilder,
sbuild or one of the other "chroot"-providing packages.
However, please do note that netbeans have been reported to fail to
build from source (see #713182). So there may be a bit of work in
getting it the package to build. To my knowledege, we need some other
packages updated before the new version of netbeans can be packaged[1].
