----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
The ECJ runs automatically whenever you fire-up eclipse. It is the continuous
compiler that catches errors in your code and helps with auto complete and
everything else in an eclipse Java project. So if you do not fix the error
everything will run fine but you will have an annoying error registered in
OFBiz whenever you edit it with eclipse
BTW I think ECJ is actually more accurate than javac in this specific instance
because it follows a stricter syntax and I think that the design structure of
eclipse is different from Intellij IDEA in that it utilizes the builtin
compiler instead of the JDK compiler but I did not do enough research to
validate this or ascertain the details.
