Was that a feature of the IDE or the compiler? Or does the IDE have its own integrated compiler that can't be used standalone?

- shadowfacts 9y agoI believe Eclipse has it's own Java compiler, so it was probably a compiler feature.

That's one of my biggest pain points with IntelliJ. They've tried to implement some kind of incremental compilation on top of javac, but it doesn't work reliably and often forced 5-minute from-scratch recompiles on the last project I worked on.
