In a very simple logging scenario, where you're literally just trying to write to console during development for debugging purposes, it might be easiest to just do a search and replace before your production build and comment out all the calls to Log or System.out.println.

For example, assuming you didn't use the "Log." anywhere outside of a call to Log.d or Log.e, etc, you could simply do a find and replace across the entire solution to replace "Log." with "//Log." to comment out all your logging calls, or in my case I'm just using System.out.println everywhere, so before going to production I'll simply do a full search and replace for "System.out.println" and replace with "//System.out.println".

I know this isn't ideal, and it would be nice if the ability to find and comment out calls to Log and System.out.println were built into Eclipse, but until that happens the easiest and fastest and best way to do this is to comment out by search and replace. If you do this, you don't have to worry about mismatching stack trace line numbers, because you're editing your source code, and you're not adding any overhead by checking some log level configuration, etc.
