If you deploy the theme to the classpath (it's not relevant what *NetBean's* classpath is--it should be on the *webapp's* classpath) then you should be able to load templates.
Have you tried creating a minimal test case, like changing one of the existing templates, and see if the changes are visible? If you put it in template/name-of-theme you shouldn't have to set anything.
