Question

Can I see the exact commands IntelliJ uses to build a java project?

Answer 1

I don't think you can get the output of a build directly, but you can view and edit the compiler options IntelliJ uses, in the Compiler tab of the Settings dialog.

Answer 2

CTRL-F9

for all key commands you can check ( and print) the keymap, its available in hte help tab.

Answer 3

IDEA is not running java binary, so there is no way to see the commands. Instead, IDEA uses Java compiler API directly. If you want a raw representation of what is done to build the project, you can use Build | Generate Ant build. Examine the build file or run it from the command line via Ant to see what happens and what options/commands are invoked.
