Usually, with modern tools such functions are not longer necessary and with a good design and some abstraction and the interfaces that Java provides it is in general not necessary to have macros in Java . Java is designed, afaik, to make it as hard as possible to shoot yourself.

Java doesn’t have a general purpose define preprocessor directive . private static final int PROTEINS = 100; Such declarations would be inlined by the compilers (if the value is a compile-time constant).18 Ara 2009

Java itself doesn’t support macros . On the other hand, you could pipe the source code through the C preprocessor (CPP for short) just like the C/C++ compile chain does.
