A little friendly info regarding other ai tools for netbeans

[ivan-velikanov]

Hi @jGauravGupta

I had made a ticket in netbeans which was sitting there for a long time. Today I got a response to it that someone has created a netbeans plugin for claude code.

As the netbeans ecosystem is quiet small, felt like sharing this information with hopes that this might trigger some collaborative efforts and more goodies for the community.

Please have a look:

Thank you

Thanks a lot for sharing this, @ivan-velikanov 🙏

The NetBeans ecosystem surely benefits from such contributions, and it’s great to see Claude Code already finding its way in!

I also think that integrating tools like Gemini CLI and Claude CLI with Apache NetBeans is super interesting and opens the door for more developer-friendly AI experiences inside the IDE.

Perhaps we can do it similar to how intellij does it. We can embed a more friendly VT100 compatible terminal such as https://github.com/techsenger/jeditermfx in netbeans and claude code / gemini cli etc. can run inside netbeans in a more "native" way, possibly more aware of project context and having some custom mcp and tools like what this project is trying to achieve https://github.com/emilianbold/claude-code-netbeans ; I see a lot of overlap in functionality between tools here. Maybe if we all think in a systematic way we can leverage each other's project's strengths (well i am not the author of any of the projects I mentioned, I am just thinking out loud and sharing ideas.)

I would definitely welcome it, it would be at least one less window on my desktop :)
The other approach we are taking is to embed Gemini CLI-like functionality in Jeddict chat. That would make the development process much smoother. The work is in progress...

Guys, i am making one that is 100% java and using Gemini that is fully integrated into netbeans, I'll keep you updated https://github.com/anahata-os but i mean the llm can write, compile and run java code on the netbeans jvm itself, you can just use natural language "close all my open tabs" "check the output" its got heaps of local tools Files, Git, UI screenshots and java sandbox for the LLM to "figure out why something is not working on the fly, without having to write-build-run on the IDE", I'll do a nice readme soon

Good job, keep it up here. These Lucknow people are hard to compete with.
