Did you noticed the new cool features of NetBeans ?
- code folding 
	- have expanded only methods that you really want to see. Collapse that ones you don't need by "-" on left side of Editor.
	- set your own preferencies what should be collapsed when a file opens up in "Options | Editing | Editor Settings | Java Editor"    		
- tasklist 
	- simple rotate in your TODOs with F12
