Nice to hear :)

Sorry about that, this is because I use Maven 3 and the Java level is set to
1.6 by default, which is not the case for Maven 2. I pushed some new changes
to force Java 1.6, whatever the version of Maven is used.

Yes, this is because the build installs those dependencies in the local
Maven repository, so you need to build at least once on the command line to
have all those depedencies properly installed and let Netbeans find them.
You have one example of this here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~julien-nicoulaud/syncany/maven/view/head:/syncany/syncany-core/pom.xml#L82

The "right Maven way" would be to deploy those dependencies in some public
repository, as it was said before. Any subdomain at syncany.org with FTP
access for the one who will deploy the artifacts could do it.

Yes, I did, it is supposed to work fine out of the box now :)
