Is there a way to compile a class file seperately within a project instead
of building the whole project (like what Ctrl+1 does in textpad) ?

I know that I can do a Run as -> Java Application on a class file and it
will compile and run the main method of the class. But what if I want to
compile a class file with no main method in it (without building the
project).

Any help will be greatly appretiated..
Thanks

There is no need to compile a file separately. If you have turned on the
incremental compiler, then as the file is changed it will be recompiled.
There is no way to compile one file. Since that file may affect other
files it will always go through and recompile any that are affected by
the file that is changed. It doesn't build the entire workspace, just
the ones that are affected.
