Since NetBeans *uses* the javac compiler of whatever version of Java you have (which one do 
you have?), or whichever one you configure for the project, the answer is obvious.

You mean "javac" run by NB vs. the same exact executable run on the command line?

Assuming the same executable is invoked each time you invoke "javac", what will the 
difference be between 

   javac com/foo/bar/Something.java
and 
   javac com/foo/bar/Something.java
?

What exactly do you mean by "the Eclipse files produced on deployment"?

Compilation is not deployment, you know.

"javac" does not deploy projects.

Whether you get the same project "exactly" between any two deployments depends on what 
has changed between the deployments. Did you recompile? Add or remove modules or resources?
Change Java versions?

If you don't change any of the inputs, the output will not change.

Sorry, "intuitive information"? What do you mean by that?

I prefer to offer factual information.
