Unlocking AI's Potential: Smarter Coding in Apache NetBeans IDE
summary
Live demo shows Jedic AI assistant integrated into Apache NetBeans using OpenAI (GPT‑4.1) and local LLMs via Olama (1.5B), generating PlantUML/mermaid diagrams, scaffolding JPA entities and JAX‑RS endpoints from diagrams, creating prompts (/getset, rest), using inline AI completion (Ctrl‑Alt‑Space), running an H2/S2 in‑memory DB, and inserting 10 sample rows inserted for queries. AI performs code review (catches bad @Id usage), produces commit messages, and runs locally with local LLM (1.5B via Olama).
