What we’re about
The Garden State Java User Group, Inc. (formerly the ACGNJ Java Users Group), in continuous operation since February 2001, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a forum to promote the use of Java platforms, APIs, and language. We strive to facilitate interactive discussions and exchange of ideas relating to the application of Java.
Topics will primarily focus on JVM technologies such as Java EE, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Spring, Groovy and Kotlin. Topics on non-JVM technologies such as Meteor, AngularJS, and Rust may occasionally be presented.
We are proud members of the MicroProfile Working Group and the Jakarta EE Ambassadors and have adopted the Jakarta NoSQL specification.
All meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of the month, but may change due to speaker availability. In-person meetings are usually held at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. On-line meetings are held via our YouTube channel.

Please note that registration is required for in-person or on-line attendance.
We are happy to be hosting Phil Chung, Director of Product Management at Oracle, who will present "RAG with In-Memory Java Microservices."
Abstract
Learn why Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a critical need to augment Large Language Models (LLMs) with internal, non public data. Python is usually required for GenAI programming but we will show you a native In-Memory Java approach to RAG pipelines for LLMs.
Explore GenAI in an open source, fully native Java ecosystem using the Helidon microservices framework and LangChain4j to supplement GenAI LLMs with your internal, corporate data using RAG to provide more precise and accurate responses, reduce hallucinations and increase transparency and trust. Join us as we dive into Java based RAG with LLMs and shape the future of Java and AI!
