IDE integration
Most of the hardcore developers never want to leave their IDE. Not just coding, building, deploying, and testing, they would be happy to do everything (if possible) from the IDE itself. Most popular IDEs have support for Maven integration and they have developed their own plugins to support Maven.
NetBeans integration
NetBeans 6.7 or newer ships with inbuilt Maven integration, while NetBeans 7.0 and newer versions bundle a complete copy of Maven 3 and run it for builds just like you would from the command line. For Version 6.9 or older, you have to download a Maven build and configure the IDE to run that. More information corresponding to Maven and NetBeans integration is available at http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenBestPractices
