I was expecting that netbeans would remember my password even for few seconds.
Instead I need to type the password every time the program needs it.

The usual way to handle this kind of problem is to run the program in question (netbeans in this case) using an "ssh agent". An ssh agent is a program that intercepts ssh key access and asks for the unlocking password on first access to any ssh key.
I don't know the details by heart, but googling should help you further.
Alternatively, you could use an ssh key that is not encrypted (password protected). Of course, anybody with access to the key file can (ab)use it in that case, so this is an option only if you are sure that the user account that has access to the key file is never infected with malware and such.
Hope this helps.
