Language:	Java
Severity Level:	2
Category:	Design

Description:

A non-case label (e.g. a named break/continue label) was present in a switch statement. This legal, but confusing. It is easy to mix up the case labels and the non-case labels.

public class Foo {
 void bar(int a) {
  switch (a) {
   case 1:
      // do something
      break;
   mylabel: // this is legal, but confusing!
      break;
   default:
      break;
  }
 }
}
