No - you don't need to generate a netbeans project - Netbeans can work
natively with Maven projects, you can just open a maven project in
netbeans and use it (you need to have the Maven plugins for netbeans
installed obviously). That page you pointed me too is pretty old. As I
said - I'm not having any problems at all creating and building Maven
projects.
This is just so that you can easily browse remote repositories to see
what modules are available and add them to your project etc.
I'm pretty sure the index thing is nothing to do with Maven, since
most other maven repositories seem to have it, and it doesn't seem to
be anything at all to do with my Netbeans installation. For instance
have a look at : http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.index
Maybe you're using Windows and Maven might call the index by a
different name on Windows. I'll do some research when i get time.

I actually meant generating the Netbeans project using the
appropriate Maven plugin - which is what the link I pasted explains.
Now maybe the repository browser you're trying to use is not
"linked" to projects in Netbeans, I have no idea :D
I did a bit of rooting about in my local Maven repository I can see
the index is a directory called ".index" in the repository folder
of my repository (ie. at ~/.m2/repository/.index). I imagine this
contains an index of everything in the repository, which allows the
Netbeans repository browser to easily list it to the user without
having to read everything in the remote repository. From what I can
tell the Magnolia repository either doesn't have an index like that
for some reason (maybe it's not a real Maven repository, but just a
bunch of projects uploaded to the server?), or else your web server
is configured to refuse to serve invisible files (so it's not
letting me look in the ".index" directory).
There's no such file on our repository indeed - and the same goes
for my local repository btw, so I suspect it's a Netbeans thing ... ?
