With the Workbench?

- - 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 - JDT's incremental project builder), but not available in standard Java - compilers. + 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.
