You can compile all files in a program or only those
files that are new or have changed since the last compile.
If a file needs to be compiled, the badge
is displayed on the Java class node
in the Explorer.
To compile a program:
Compile (F9) to
compile only those files that are new or have changed since the
last compile. The up-to-date check is
done by comparing timestamps between the source (.java) and
products (.class) of the compile.
This command does not compile
the files in subfolders.
Compile All (Shift-F9)
to compile
only those files that are new or have changed since the
last compile, including the files in
subfolders.
Build (F11)
to delete the sourcename.class files
in the folder and compile the source files.
This command does not remove .class files or compile source files in subfolders.
Build All (Shift-F11)
to delete all .class files within a folder and its subfolders
and then build all files within the folder and subfolders.
