With various ant scripts used to deploy QA, dev and production builds, we do
use a similar thing in a property file. Most of the time trace is enough, but
if you're not looking for them, they can get missed. A simple if (DEBUG)
Alert.show("bad thing happened!"); works for me when I'm really looking for
something that needs to stop the flow without a breakpoint or something like
that.
