This isn't a problem with NetBeans, but has to do with how environment
variables work. An "export" statement only sets an environment
variable for the current shell. To have the change stick, you need to
put the addition to PATH in a configuration file (most likely
~/.profile, but some linux distroes can be a little weird about it) so
that it will be set for every shell you open.

You don't have to do either of these. I suggest you follow Lew's
suggestion and read the documentation for the java and javac commands.

You don't want to automate it with a script anyway -- you'll want to
automate it with a java build tool like ant or maven, but I recommend
that you spend some time just compiling and running things from the
command line first, to learn the basics properly.
