Thread: Skip code to compile.

Hello guys again!

I just want to know if is possible to compile code skiping part of that code in eclipse.

Example (I dont want eclipse to compile what is after ***):

//By Mike Liberato, 2013.
 
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
 
public class CalculateSalePrice {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		double iprice, poff, sprice, asaved;
 
		Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
 
		NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
 
		System.out.print("Enter item price: ");
		iprice = scan.nextDouble();
 
		System.out.print ("Percent off: ");
		poff = scan.nextDouble();
 
		asaved = (double) (iprice*poff/100);
		sprice = (double) (iprice-asaved);
		System.out.println ("Sale price: " + fmt.format(sprice));
		System.out.print("Amount saved: " + fmt.format(asaved));
 
***asaved = (double) (iprice*poff/100);
		***sprice = (double) (iprice-asaved);
		***System.out.println ("Sale price: " + fmt.format(sprice));
		***System.out.print("Amount saved: " + fmt.format(asaved));
	}
 
}

So if I de-compile my code those lines are not going to be in the compiled file, but the code is istill going to be in my project...

Hope, that you guys understand. Thanks.

So the code between the /* and */ wont be compiled into the "Executable Jar File" (which is how I am compiling it)?

Correct.
Comments are only included if you include the source code when you make the jar

Ohh okay.

And how do I exactly check if I'm compiling it with the source code included?

When I export my project to an executable Jar file: (example.jar) its content will be example.class and the META-INF and org folder.

So my question is, the comments that are between /* and */ will not be in the example.class file?? So if somebody manage to de-compile that class file, they wont have access to my comments.?

Perfect, thank you.
