Better assume that no is willing to package Netbeans for you, and do
it yourself.

It is really not hard. Use Max RPM (http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/) and
the Fedora packaging guidelines
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines) for help and you
will be ready to go. If you stumble, look at some pre-existing SPEC
files for help.

It is really fun to be a Fedora packager. Go for it. ;-)
