Interestingly enough there is a plugin for it. See at github or at netbeans portal To install it go to Tools -> plugins -> Available Plugins and search for readme. Choose plugin called Display readme files in project view. You can change which files to show on the Tools -> options -> Miscellaneous->Display more files panel:
