Do I have to recompile everything?

[wntdaliv]

I just switched from the eclipse IDE to jEdit and the terminal to work on my program.

Anyways, my question is: If I edit the one file (whatever.java) and I don't touch anything else, do I have to compile the other files?

as in, if I go:

javac Main.java
javac seconddary.java
etc...

If I change the main, do I have to recompile secondary.java? and etc.

That's a really dangerious question to answer. It depends on what you changed in the main class and how the secoundary class (or any other class) interacts with the main class.
I also don't know the context... is this work related? School project related?

Not really enough info to work with. To be on the safe side, it would probably be better to recompile the whole project.

Luck,
