If you wish to ignore the warning "dead code warning in Java under Eclipse" do the following inside eclipse*:

1. Click Window-Preferences-Java-Compiler-Errors/Warnings
2. Click on "Potential Programming Problems"
3. Choose "Ignore" the "Dead Code eg if(false)"
4. Click Apply
5. Click OK

Save and close your eclipse IDE When you reopen eclipse, these specific warnings should no longer be listed.

*For this example solution I'm using Eclipse IDE for Java Developers - Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)
