The default project allows one to choose which project is being actively worked on so that all of the menu commands (such as build, debug, etc) will work directly with that project. In other words, it allows you to tie one project to the overall Netbeans control structure. That way, you can use shortcut keys like F6 and F11 to easily and quickly build and deploy your active (default) project. Netbeans allows you to manually right-click on any project in your Projects navigator and build->deploy, but setting one as the default makes it easier to work with that project via shortcut keys.
Netbeans allows you to change the default project at any time by right-clicking the project in the Projects navigator. Does that make sense? I apologize for the wordiness...
