Not compiling parts of the code in java(like #ifdef)

I want to have the possibility NOT to compile parts of my JAVA code. Sometimes...

I miss the possibility of compiler directives I had in c++

#ifdef DEBUG
 println("debug messae);
#endif

In java we don't have this possibility.

I wondered if there is an external tool, some sort of a Java precompiler that might give me the flexibility to do this with java code.

Thank you, Gilad

static final booleans can be used to eliminate code inside if statements at compile time. for example

private static final boolean check= false;    

if (check) {
  // This is removed at compile time
}
