I don't know of an option to show the full path in the tab or window, but I handle this problem in several ways:
- Hit Ctrl+Shift+1 while in the editor to highlight the file in the Projects View
- Hit Ctrl+Shift+2 Show the file in the Files (actual folders) View.
- Use Alt+Shift+O to open files by name (which shows the path and the project)
Hopefully you can use one of these to your advantage.

I know this question is old, but for other folks, who Google here like me: There is a plugin called "show-path-in-title". You can download it directly from Netbeans, or here: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/42000/show-path-in-title

Yes, it is incredible that a so little issue can discourage so much.

Another way is maintain open the "properties" window: Ctrl+Shift+7 Shows name, size, modification time...
You can have that window undocked, even in another screen, if you have it. Always is on top. So, wow, is something just discovered. And seems a very cool solution!!! THX!!!

If you hover your mouse over the tab with the file name, it will pop-up the full path.
