Deploy To Dev and Production

[Shelves]

I'm a newbie...

I'm using JDeveloper to build a desktop app, as a jar file. I want to
make 2 deployment profiles, one for Development and one for
Production. I would like it to set a constant somewhere that equals 1
for production and 0 for dev... In C++ I could set it up to include
different .h header files. How can I do that in Java? Or, what's a
best-practice for injecting different values into prod vs. dev code,
and having that set in the deployment profile so I can easily deploy
one or the other?

Thanks.

Google for "Java property files" and "deployment descriptors".

You could use an ant script to copy Variant1.java or Variant2.java
onto Variant.java and do a clean compile.

Thanks Lew. A property file should work. Do have to use Ant to
accomplish this?

No.
