Here's the link:http://wiki.netbeans.org/OpenProjectsProgramaticallyInNetBeansIDE[source] of this FAQ: 

Just wanted to put the core of it here for future reference as this was not easy for me to find:

[source,java]
----

                File projectToBeOpenedFile = new File(getPath());
                FileObject projectToBeOpened = FileUtil.toFileObject(projectToBeOpenedFile);
                Project project = ProjectManager.getDefault().findProject(projectToBeOpened);
                Project[] array = new Project[1];
                array[0] = project;
                OpenProjects.getDefault().open(array, false);
----

Remember to add references to Project API and Project UI API.
