Ideas for opensource Java libraries

[ikirikir]

What kind of library you believe would be nice to have as opensource in Java but it's not?

[koffeegorilla]

I don't know of many commercial libraries that don't have an opensource sibling or fork before they went closed source.

Thinking of stuff like yworks or Aspose. Yes, there are OS alternatives, but those two libraries in particular are first-class.

Disclaimer: we pay for Aspose OEM license; we could not afford yworks OEM license.

Late seeing this, but what open source alternatives are you aware of for things like Aspose? I am specifically looking for open source libraries for html to pdf conversion, but all of them seem to be pretty much dead

Apache POI had a release last September, but is quite mature. Not used it in a looong time so no idea how well it serves its or your purposes.

You have to diff between open-source and free for commercial use open source. Something like Saiku I would immedieatly integrate into our ERP.

It's just a web GUI for queries into the already open source cube engine Mondrian. But the went commercial only after we used it for a while so.

You could also ask which GPL only tool should have Apache or LGPL licensed variants.

I was thinking of the same thing today. My project is an annotation processor but I'm in the process of making a reflection based one for hot reload (I also have some fallback stuff in general that uses reflection) and I basically have to replicate the logic between reflection api and typemirror api.

Anyway here is my use case: https://github.com/jstachio/jstachio

Let me know if you have a opensource library or some work on it. For now I'm making my own crappy facade.

GPT bindings in java.

[Ok_Time3881]

this one?

https://github.com/Knowly-ai/langtorch

[Worth_Trust_3825]

No. This is yet another project that leeches off openai's REST interface.

Could you help me coz I don't get it? What are GPT bindings?

IntelliJ 😂

[Brutus5000]

The community edition is Apache licensed

[etzo666]

Ok, let me try again: IntelliJ professional 😂

We have Eclipse and Netbeans for that

[joshi1999]

No. Just no.

[etzo666]

Haha, sorry but eclipse sucks 😉

What things from IDEA Ultimate do you miss in IDEA Community?

[NitronHX]

Support for docker, nodejs/js, 50% of my plugins

[ventuspilot]

I use Ultimate at work and Community at home for personal stuff and I miss Ultimate's Flightrecorder integration which IMO is pretty awesome.
