I *think* that the mavenised build was introduced some way in to the Roller 5 source, if you're familar with Maven then all you need to know is that Roller builds like any standard Maven project. If you're not familiar with Maven then there's a reasonable tutorial on the Maven site which should get you started ( http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html). All maven projects are ostensibly built using the same commands so once you've got this sorted the process of buliding Roller should be a bit more self explanatory.
Netbeans 6.9 has support for Maven projects out of the box, you should just be able to open and build the project straight from the IDE. I've done this in the past with the Roller 5 source and have had no problems. I'm not sure whether Eclipse has Maven support out of the box, I think that might depend on the distribution you use. I'm currently using SpringSource STS 2.3 which does. Are you having any particular problem building in Netbeans? If you could send an error/ stacktrace that would be helpful.
