Github Copilot vs. Amazon CodeWhisperer For Java Developers
Talkat JCON Europe 2023 · on Thursday, 2023-06-22· at 15:00· Cinema 5, Im Mediapark 1, 50670 Köln, Germany·
summary
Comparison tests use GitHub Copilot (Codex / Copilot X preview on GPT‑4) and Amazon CodeWhisperer against Java tasks: singletons, date diffs, Project Euler algorithms, Spring Boot CRUD and unit tests. GitHub produces more accurate, context-aware code, often generated correct tests and reasonable optimizations; Copilot X chat inserts code and explains choices. CodeWhisperer often requires manual imports, misses project context and struggles with context, though it adds free security scans and a paid tier. Pricing differences and dated training data affect choices.
