I've got geotools / maven cooking with Netbeans 6. Firstly, I'd recommend that you update your Netbeans from 5 to 6. There are quite a lot of bug fixes and some useful new features including a local and remote maven repository browser and better support for subversion, and smart editing of the maven pom.xml file (tag completion, repo browsing etc).
You don't need to download a profile for svn (at least I didn't). Just add the geotools svn site details into the IDE. In NB6 you can choose to use external maven, rather than the one embedded in mevenide, for all projects or just a single project. If you want to do it for all projects go to Preferences->Miscellaneous and select the Maven 2 tab - you'll see a check box for external maven. You can also set the path to your local repo here. To use external maven for an individual project, right click on the project in the IDE, select Properties from the pop up menu, and then in the dialog that appears select Actions from the list on the left. You'll see a checkbox for using external maven. You can also enter extra args for maven goals here if you want. With the latest mevenide I've been using the embedded maven without any problems. I also frequently use maven from the command line (2.0.9) and haven't noticed any conflicts. For some idiosynchratic reason I tend to use maven from the command line for building geotools and use it from within Netbeans for building my geotools / maven app. Works for me. Hope that helps.
