How to conver switch statement to if statement?

I was wondering if I can convert the following into a if statement rather than it being a switch statement.

switch (type) {
  case PROJECT:
  case STORY:
  case DEVELOPER:
    createdItem = new AggregateItem(name, desc, value);
    break;
  case STORY_DEVELOPER:
    createdItem = new SingleItem(name, value, child);
    break;
  default:
    createdItem = null;
}

concatinate the first three switch cases with or. Then it follows an else if and last but not least the else.

if(PROJECT.equals(type)|| STORY.equals(type) || STORY.equals(DEVELOPER)){
  createdItem = new AggregateItem(name, desc, value);
}else if (STORY_DEVELOPER.equals(type)){
  createdItem = new SingleItem(name, value, child);
}else{
  createdItem = null;
}
