Answer 1

From Netbeans 8.1 - there is an "Import from ZIP" option.

Go to Main Menu -> File -> Import Project -> from ZIP.

Browse your .ZIP file's location via Browse button.

If you have Java project depending on external Libraries, Netbeans will highlight & ask for "Resolving problems" in project, click on resolve, provide location in your file system containing required library files .e.g JARs etc & you will be good to go.
