Sorry, I was a bit ambiguous in my first answer.
Yes, it can check a .java source file against the corresponding .class
file for timestamp or existence differences which point to requiring a
compilation, but my understanding is that it doesn't check for a
superclass having changed, or any imports. You may get compile failures
thrown by javac; for example, if a new abstract method has been
introduced by into a superclass; which would alert you to a potential
issue. But you may just get a subtle bug in your application.
