greetings deepak, and welcome to App Engine!

it looks like there's something wrong with your JDK setup as the error
seems to indicate that it cannot find javac. are you sure you
downloaded a JDK and not just the JRE?

although netbeans is not officially supported by Google, other Java
users have gotten it to work. here is a tutorial that we oftern refer
users to:

good luck!
