- Advanced RAG-based context awareness is now available.
Updated 26 June: I’m almost after 20 days of regular using of Junie in IntelliJ my thoughts:
– very good integration in IDE, I had no problems with anything – git commit / rollback scenarios work very well
– quality of generated code – here I had some issues: model sometimes removed important annotations I added as comments (@grant in TamperMonkey scripts, so as a whole it didn’t work), also cannot provide the correct version of Procedural Tile Generator I was working on, basically in several passes it can’t do the requested thing Claude did in the first pass, also sometimes Java code is too verbose, unnecessary objects in Map are created – not a big deal, because we can insist on using simpler structures, but anyway the first time I saw such a way of code generation
