I've created a Maven project and added the dependencies (jar files) that I need; however, netbeans says that it still cannot find it.

Specifically in my case, I added the jmf-2.1.1e.jar file into my dependencies folder. When I go back to my program it still gives me the compile error that it cannot find the javax.media package.

Did you let Netbeans manage the dependency?

In your "Projects" listing, find and context+click on the "Dependencies" folder in the list. From the context menu, choose "Add Dependency".

This approach works at least in NetBeans 7.4 and 8.0 beta.
