How to import org.apache Java dependencies w/ or w/o Maven

So the quick background is I am creating a java program, that uses many different imports

    import org.apache.hadoop.conf.*;
    import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
    import org.apache.hadoop.io.*;
    import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.*;
    import org.apache.hadoop.util.*;
    import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
    import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;

I know that Netbeans isn't finding these files because I do not have them on my computer. But is there a way to have Netbeans automatically connect with org.apache and retrieve these files? Or do I just have to go and download them. Someone recommended using Maven, but I am not sure if this is the right solution or how to go about that?

Thanks

Not a netbeans user , but I'm sure that even in netbeans, you have a maven plugin. "Mavenize" your project, and when you will perform mvn clean install, you will get these jars to local maven repository.
With Eclipse I use the m2Eclipse plugin and it works really well for me.
This of course depends that these jars can be found in maven repositories over the net, such as maven central repository.
