Hi Jacques,

The EJC runs automatically whenever you fire-up eclipse. It is the continuous compiler that catches errors in your code and helps with auto complete and everything else in an eclipse Java project. So if you do not fix the error everything will run fine but you will have an annoying error registered in OFBiz whenever you edit it with eclipse

BTW I think EJC is actually more accurate than javac in this specific instance because it follows a stricter syntax and I think that the design structure of eclipse is different from Intellij IDEA in that it utilizes the builtin compiler instead of the JDK compiler but I did not do enough research to validate this or ascertain the details.
