I'm using NetBeans to develop J2EE web service. NetBeans create a directory called nbproject inside my project directory. I'm wondering if I should put this directory under source control. I think it is required to build the project without NetBeans.

The nbProject folder contains all the netbeans metadata about your project. When you go Project -> properties all the settings (and others) that you find there are stored in the nbProjects folder.
You can find your project directory by going to the "Netbeans "Projects" tab, right-clicking in your project folder and selecting "Properties". The "Project folder" will be shown on at the top of the new window displayed (i.e. "C:\Users\admin\Documents\NetBeansProjects\YourProjectName").
To open a local file/folder (as a file-explorer) in Netbeans, in the top menu-bar goto: Window -> Favourites (or press Ctrl+3), this will open 'Favourites' pane, here you can open files or folders (in Linux, by default you will see your 'home' directory).
This is usually not required. Think of it this way: If I was to check out your project but happened to be using a different IDE, I would not require your nbproject directory. In other words: This directory is machine specific, not project specific. Hope this helps.

EDIT: This has been answered in another question, and the answer there is more complete and accurate
In short you should include nbproject, but not nbproject/private
