It's a bug in the Java GTK look and feel, but see this post on the
NetBeans forum for a simple workaround -

Title:
  Menu bar is illegible grey on grey with GTK look and feel on default
  theme

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the default Ubuntu theme, using the GTK look and feel (the default
  system look and feel on Ubuntu), menu bars are almost completely
  illegible, to the point of being unusable. They use grey on a slightly
  darker shade of grey. The menus themselves look fine, they use a light
  grey background and dark grey text .

  I assume it's picking up the wrong colour from the GTK theme. I
  haven't actually tested other themes, it's possible that they would
  look better, but it seems to me that it should be usable with the
  default theme. Using other look and feels would also work around the
  problem, but that's not a solution for similar reasons.
