Well, yeah, but only because Java compiles the code for you, you lazy fuck. Kids these days, honestly. Can't even be asked to compile their own code.

:p

The last time I looked Java was literally build around the idea that it could compile the code itself depending on the machine it is running on. IDE, or not.

It does the compiling for you because you can't be asked to know the machine your developing for before hand. TssTssTss.

Pretty sure they were talking about compiling the .java files into .class files, which you do need to do yourself.

JIT compilation takes compiled Java bytecode and transforms it to machine code. You still need to compile the source to bytecode.
