But why bother when there is already an open source preprocessor for Java in Eclipse? It is called 'prebop' and there is an article on it at http://www.boldinventions.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81:javapreprocessorusingeclipse&catid=34:category-electronics-articles&Itemid=53 including a link to the SourceForge project.
So if the OP and others -r-e-a-l-l-y- want preprocessing, they can have it. But I still have to question the wisdom of the choice. Sure, there are the famous "tight spots" that only preprocessing looks good for, but more often, those who insist on it really are still thinking the C or C++ way rather than the Java way.
