For comparison, I don't know whether you are looking
to compare eclipse as an IDE with other environments
in which javac plugs in or you mean ECJ vs javac.
No, I didn't mean the IDE, just the compilers.
For the latter, a good starting point would be to
look at all the optional diagnostics that are configurable
as error/warning/ignore from under Window+Preferences or
equivalently the help page that shows all the compiler
options.
I think I have a good understanding where ECJ can do more for me than
javac. I rarely use javac at all.
But as I can't find any good write-up in the internet, others won't
either. A lot of people who I spoke to, just can't imagine why Eclipse
is so slow in adapting new Java releases. Most of the people don't know
that eclipse has it's own compiler to allow incremental builds and which
generates all these nice and meaningful warnings. I think it would
really help to have a page which describes what ECJ is and what the
differences to javac are, to make people appreciate your work.
