Eclipse does have it's own compiler, it does not use the JDK compiler (javac). However, Eclipse's compiler produces standard bytecode that complies with the Java Language Specification (JLS) and JVM Specification, so the compiled code it produces will work on any compliant JVM.
When running or debugging a program, Eclipse uses a JVM that's installed on your machine; it does not "interpret" the code at runtime as you describe. JIT is a function of the runtime JVM, not the compiler; nothing Eclipse's compiler does will prevent that.
