FROM alpine:latest

llm is very good at Java, I used it to write many tiny GUI programs to improve my workflow

mostly it's just pure Java, I used a makefile to run it:

APP_NAME = DrawRectanglesAnywhere

.PHONY: all clean

all: compile run

compile:
	mkdir -p build
	javac -d build $(APP_NAME).java

run:
	java -cp build $(APP_NAME)

clean:
	rm -rf build

I have another more complicated makefile that can handle dependencies, resources and fat jar

more similar apps and papers:

I changed my local llm model to Llama 3.2 1B, it's fast and reasonably good
