On netbeans 6 m9. in maven projects Declarations of type List<String> l; flag an error with the tooltip "type java.util.List does not take parameters" This apears to be specific to java.util.List; ArrayList<String> works fine.
Passing to java for further investigation, but I'm not able to reproduce.
Seems like issue #101020 - can be workarounded by deleting the caches (${userdir}/var/cache/index/0.3). Is fixed for M10 (please note that once the caches are broken, they will not correct themselves - you will need to clear them to get correct behavior in M10). Thanks. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 101020 ***
