Is there an easy way to tell Java not to bug me about unreachable code?

Why not simply outcomment the unreachable code?

How unreachable is it?

As I understand it, the compiler is supposed to understand

if(false) { code }

and even

public static final boolean debug=false;

if(debug) code;

without complaint.

(That is, the Java replacement for C's

#if 0

#endif
)

Yes, you have several easy ways:

1. Make the code reachable.
2. Delete the unreachable code.
3. Surround the code which *causes* the unreachability with if(true){}
4. Comment out the unreachable code.

All of those will tell Java not to bug you about an obvious bug in your
code.

"Delete it" comes to mind ...

Could you describe your situation in more detail? The
unreachable code will never be executed; why do you wish to
keep it around? I assume you've got some better reason than
"I admire the sheer beauty of useless clutter;" what is it?

Most IDES have a way to with a keystroke comment the code out. That
way it is easy to revive it later, but has no effect on the class
file.
