-      No. The JDT provides a number of sophisticated features including fully
-      automatic incremental compilation, code snippet evaluation, code assist,
-      type hierarchies, and hot code replace. These features require special
-      support found in the workbench Java compiler (an integral part of the

+      Not with vanilla JDT. Some features of JDT such as Snippet evaluation do require usage
+      of the built-in compiler and currently cannot work with another compiler.

+      However, note that JDT does provide some mechanisms to allow 3rd-party plugins to
+      enable an external compiler instead of the built-in one for most features (completion,
+      selection, search, incremental compilation, and so on) but actual usage of such third-party
+      compilers is not something that JDT includes nor for which JDT is responsible.
