The IDE comes with a set of default compilers that suit most
development needs.
You can compile your program using the
compiler, which is the default compiler for
most projects and source files.
You can also compile your program inside the IDE
using the internal
compiler or on its own using an external javac
compiler.
You can modify how a compiler is called, such as whether to create debugging information, which executable to use, and whether to perform Java optimizations. You can also create and remove compiler types. You can view and modify compilers under the Compiler Types node in the Project Settings window.
