The "New Project" item offers several alternatives such as:

- "Module Project"
- "Module Suite Project"
- "Library Wrapper Module Project"


I'm not the expert here, but I'm pretty sure those are NetBeans modules, not Java.

Look under New Project->General->Java Application for the Java stuff.

If you have NetBeans 6 Beta, then replace "General" with "Java".

As far as I know, the Java stuff is very portable, although I've yet to do anything complicated with it. Ant build scripts are your friend, but for a simple project you don't even need to bother with that.
