Why would you want to do that? For server side / messy programming it is
needed but for Java (and anyother similar languages) its not really needed.

If you insist in making your life really miserable,
then there is nothing
to prevent you from either using cpp or m4, like
in a C program. Except you have to call cpp
yourself, because javac will not do this for you.-)

Write a little macro preprocessor that handles your include. Use the
C preprocessor.

I do some simple things like embed the name of the compiler used by
simply copying one of two variants to the official java file just
prior to compilation. You can do slightly more elaborate things with
simple file concatenation.

As a simple antipiracy measure, and as a very flexible configuration
tool, I sometimes copy a configuration file written in Java for a
customer to the official configuration then compile, to hard code in
all the constants.
