You have misunderstood.

The Java compiler just transforms the Java source to Java byte code,
which you can consider just a binary version of the source.

The Java byte code is then JIT compiled by the JVM.

JIT compilation is real compilation not semi.

JIT is used by the JVM unless explicit disabled with the -Xint switch.

Since this is handled by the JVM then it is independent of the IDE.
