copied!<p><strong>There is no working <code>goto</code> in Java</strong></p> <p>Even though the Java keyword list <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_keywords.html" rel="nofollow">specifies the goto keyword</a>, it is marked as <em>not used</em>. Hence, it cannot work. You have to rewrite your code without using the <code>goto</code> keyword.</p> <p>A general hint: there are <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-14.html#jls-14.7" rel="nofollow">Labeled Statements</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Statements may have label prefixes.</p> <pre><code>LabeledStatement: Identifier : Statement LabeledStatementNoShortIf: Identifier : StatementNoShortIf </code></pre> <p>The Identifier is declared to be the label of the immediately contained Statement.</p> <p>Unlike C and C++, the Java programming language has no goto statement; identifier statement labels are used with <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-14.html#jls-14.15" rel="nofollow">break (§14.15)</a> or <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-14.html#jls-14.16" rel="nofollow">continue (§14.16)</a> statements appearing anywhere within the labeled statement.</p> <p>The scope of a label of a labeled statement is the immediately contained Statement. – JLS (§14.7)</p> </blockquote> <p>But what you really want, is to rewrite your constructs without using that, for instance by using <code>while</code></p> <pre><code>while (f == 0) { // ... } </code></pre>
