It may be that only you see this broken dep because of problems with your
machine (duplicate pkgs for example). Only somebody who looks into it in
detail can find out. You're the first who should do the trouble-shooting,
prior to presenting your findings and asking for comments. At least do
some queries with rpm and repoquery.

netbeans-platform8 in Rawhide repo:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/Packages/netbeans-platform8-6.1-5.fc10.noarch.rpm

netbeans-platform8 in Fedora Build System:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=6746

netbeans in Fedora Build System:

The Rawhide broken dep report would notice wrong Obsoletes. What it cannot
detect are old sub-packages, which are still found only on Rawhide users'
installations and which cause broken deps due to missing Obsoletes.

That's not the case here. netbeans-platform8 is available (inherited from
F10).

Btw, the quote of your Yum output is incomplete.
