Well, apparently not quite heresy, because Eclipse today announced a Java preprocessor as part of the Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java Project (MTJ):
http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20081015_mtj.php I installed the MTJ runtime from http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/mtj/downloads/drops/R-0.9-200810141345/ but it looks like it only works with MIDlet projects (Java ME) by default, because the "Enable Preprocessing" did not show up in my Android projects context menus under Eclipse Ganymede. From the Eclipse Help | Search (for "preprocessor"), it shows that the preprocessor has all the normal #ifdef #else #endif etc directives (to be preceded by //), so it looks like this could suit us well once we figure out how to enable the MTJ preprocessor for Android projects under Eclipse. Any Eclipse experts?
