Sorry if the question title is confusing. Let me explain further.
I am building a Java project with Eclipse. In my Java product I have conditionals that determine what code is included in the product and relies on static final constants for dead stripping.
class BuildFlags
{
public static final boolean SOME_FLAG = true; // Need to set this programmatically
}
class SomeOtherClass
{
public void someMethod()
{
if (BuildFlags.SOME_FLAG)
{
// flag specific code
}
}
}
My question is how can I change BuildFlags.SOME_FLAG (above) so that I can run a special build without changing the source? Is there some way I can pass flags to the jvm (from eclipse) which I can then access to set this flag programatically?
