Hello,
Is there any kind of conditional compilation in Java? Like there is #ifdef / #endif in C - anything like that in Java?
Thanks,
Jamie

#ifdef in Java?

Re: #ifdef in Java?
There is none.
What would you use that for in java? It seems rather pointless to me.
Re: #ifdef in Java?
Took a look at this. The wikipedia article (Conditional compilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) states:Due to Java's "write once, run everywhere" nature, worrying about differences in platforms is almost never needed (with a handful of exceptions, which can usually be resolved by making a call to one of Java's utility classes).This technique is commonly used when these differences are needed to run the software on different platforms, or with different versions of required libraries or hardware.

Re: #ifdef in Java?
Not in the same way, because there isn't a preprocessor (which is the thing that actually reads the #ifdef lines, replacing them with valid C before passing them onto the compiler) like there is for a C toolchain.Originally Posted by mrqwak
