### Description I would like to propose the integration of a native AI assistant within NetBeans to enhance developer productivity and align the IDE with modern development standards. AI-assisted development is rapidly becoming a core capability in modern IDE ecosystems. Developers increasingly rely on AI tools for intelligent code completion, refactoring suggestions, debugging assistance, documentation generation, and automated test creation. Currently, NetBeans does not provide built-in AI support, requiring developers to switch to external tools or third-party solutions, which interrupts workflow and reduces efficiency. Proposed Capabilities: Context-aware AI code completion Smart refactoring and optimization suggestions Inline explanations for complex logic Automated unit test generation Documentation generation (Javadoc support) Integrated AI chat panel with project-level context awareness Strategic Value: Strengthens NetBeans' competitive position in the modern IDE landscape Attracts new developers and improves onboarding Increases productivity for Java, Spring Boot, Jakarta EE, and JavaFX developers Encourages community-driven AI plugin extensions This enhancement would significantly modernize the NetBeans experience and reinforce its role as a powerful, future-ready Java IDE. Thank you for considering this proposal. ### Use case/motivation _No response_ ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
