["beandz at hotmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

This valid java code generates a compile error.

public class finaltest {
    public void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("got to main");
        switch(23) {
        case 1:
            final String s = "x";
            break;
        case 2:
            new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    System.out.println("run");
                }
            };
            break;
        }
    }
}
