Are you talking about installing NetBeans IDE in Ubuntu?
If So, I think a natural way to do so is to run
sudo apt-get install netbeans
and let apt-get and the package itself to decide where to install the program.
I don't think there is any problem to install NetBeans or some other
programs in somewhere like /usr/local/netbeans-6.5, though this path
is read-only for non-root users.
In using the NetBeans, you could still save your projects in your home folder.
It seems to be a bit weird to install any program in
/home/yourname/..., but I don't know if any problem will occur if
doing so, either.
