Oracle buys Sun, owns Java

[Lew]

Eclipse recompiles (using it's own incremental compiler) any class ass
soon as you make the tiniest one-character change in the source code.
Actually I think it waits until you hesitate for a decisecond but the
effect is much the same. This means that every class is always ready to
go. Even if you have unresolved compiler errors, Eclipse is always
willing to have a go at running your app (after warning you).

More accurately, it attempts to keep every class ready to go.
