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.

We are happy to announce that Anna Chernyshova will be our special guest for this month's meeting.
Abstract:
The AI landscape is evolving fast. For Java developers, libraries like LangChain4j and Spring AI simplify integration, but testing remains a major challenge. I'll walk you through how Testcontainers and Docker can streamline your testing and development workflows for GenAI applications.
You'll learn how to create isolated, reproducible environments to test AI behaviors and RAG workflows with confidence, and how to leverage the Docker Model Runner to enhance your local experience of GenAI-powered app development.
Bio:
Anna Chernyshova is a Solutions Engineer at Docker focused on developer productivity, containerization, shift-left testing, and Testcontainers. She is also an open-source contributor and a lover of Java and GenAI.
As usual, pizza and soft drinks will be provided. We hope to see you on June 24.
