Show HN: JavaFactory – IntelliJ plugin to generate Java code

Hi HN,
I built a code generator plugin for IntelliJ that uses LLMs to create repetitive Java code like implementations, tests, and fixtures — based on custom natural-language patterns and annotation-based references.
Most tools like Copilot or Cursor aim to be general, but fail to produce code that actually fits a project structure or passes tests.
So I made something more explicit: define patterns + reference scope, and generate code consistently.
In this demo, 400 lines of Java were generated in 20 seconds — and all tests passed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReBCXKOpW3M

But the project looks interesting, I have been looking for something similar.
"404 - page not found The
master branch of
javafactory-plugin does not contain the path
docs/how-to-use.md."
How do I hook it into local models? Does it support Ollama, Continue, that kind of thing? Do you collect telemetry?
