Is there a way to change compile options in the Entry version of VAJ such that my variables don't get deleted if there is a compile time error ?

I find that if I create a field in the VCE and hit run, the field I just created will get deleted if there is a compile time error. It looks like VAJ is trying to resolve bugs on its own. Is there a way to shut this off ?

If I create a field by creating a new bean, this problem does not occur. However, this limits me to using classes only and not primitive data types.

Thank you.
