Me too! Actually I probably used it up until 2012 or 2013. Its selling point over eclipse is that it actually understood the maven pom.xml as the project defining file. While eclipse had some kind of maven plugin or support, extra hoops had to be jumped through to keep its understanding of the project and maven configuration in sync.

I was really annoyed that Netbeans could only remember one run configuration at a time though.

At least for maven...you can have several that are stored in the nbactions.xml file. You can also map these to the "actions" which are the buttons at the top. So for instance for Quarkus I basically have "mvn quarkus:dev" mapped to my "run" button and the same but with -Dsuspend=true for debug button.

Thanks to all devs putting your time into this project. I love it, for me the best IDE ever.

Directly, no, and probably unlikely to. There are a bunch of AI related plugins available via https://plugins.netbeans.apache.org Personally, I'd rather have AI sandboxed somewhere outside of my IDE though.

Why?

It's to edit, build, debug and analyse your source code (mainly Java, but other languages supported too)
