How can I declare a switch case as default, with the new Java 14 Switch Expressions?
All I want is:
enum States {
PLAY, STOP
}
...
States state = ...
switch (state) {
case PLAY -> { run(); }
case STOP, default -> { stop(); }
}
Which doesn't compile. It compiles with Java 17 Preview-Features, but that can't be the solution?! I really want to avoid using unfinished features.
It should be the equivalent to the old-style switch statement:
switch (state) {
case PLAY: run(); break;
case STOP: // <-- No extra "break;". Intentional fall-through!
default: stop(); break;
}
Is that possible with plain Java 14 (or maybe 17)?
Do not think that is possible. An alternative is to just include stop() in both cases:
