Sadly I know no other method than comments in Java to have debug code-free 
release versions. The pre-processor "#define" of C does not exist in Java.

So after debug code has not been used actively for some time (i.e. 
related code got mature) commenting out seems the best way I know. I would 
prefer a compile-time switch, but till today I do not know any option to 
do so except introducing pre-parsers, which has a lot of drawbacks.
