 This page explains how to install and run netbeans from linux using the afs file system. 

You will need the following:

1. Netbeans v5.5, either installed locally, or you can check if it's installed on one of the system disks. The unix command 'which netbeans' will show if it is installed in afs.
2. Maven plugin from https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ilc/Installing+Netbeans+with+Maven+Support. Under 'Install Mevenide' click 'Download this small autoupdate module'.
3. Adequate afs disk space that is read and write by your account. 
4. 1 Gb memory, less memory still works but at a very slow pace.
5. Global environment variable $MAVEN_HOME set properly in the .cshrc file. I used $MAVEN_HOME  = /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/java/common/contrib/maven-1.0.2/
6. URL https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ilc/Installing+Netbeans+with+Maven+Support for instructions on how to install Maven plugin and download netbeans. This page contains screenshots for the various installation steps.
