Which AI coding assistant is best for Java?

Tabnine and GitHub Copilot are the strongest choices for Java, particularly in enterprise environments using Spring Boot or Jakarta EE. Both integrate with IntelliJ IDEA (the dominant Java IDE) and understand Java's verbose boilerplate patterns well. Amazon CodeWhisperer/Q also performs well for Java developers in the AWS ecosystem. Cursor works for Java but is less commonly used in enterprise Java shops.
