> I believe Eclipse has it's own Java compiler, so it was probably a compiler feature.

It does, and it's much better than javac for IDE use cases. 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.




The Eclipse compiler is natively supported in IDEA: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/java-compiler.html#javac...
