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.
If you have enabled JavaMake to manage compilation dependencies, the Build and Compile commands behave as follows:
![]() |
You can turn off the display of the compile
status badge ( ) on the node for a Java class file.
In the Options window, expand the Editing node and select Java Sources. Change
the Show Compile Status property to False.
