They’re different ways of building applications. NetBeans can help you use these build systems, but just as you need to know a bit of Java before you can benefit from the Java editor in NetBeans, you need to spend a bit of time understanding the build systems before you can benefit from them.
Maven is listed first because it is the most widely used build system and is probably the best one to get started with. But, really, please spend time learning about what Java is, what Maven is, etc, in the same way as you would spend time learning about what kind of coffee table you want to make different before you’d start looking at which hammer might be appropriate for you.
