Non-Compliant Code Examples

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        switch (condition) {
            case value1:
                break;
        }

        switch (condition) {
            case value1:
                break;
            case value2:
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
}

Compliant Code Examples

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        switch (condition) {
            case value1:
                break;
            case value2:
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }

        switch (condition) {
            case value1: // comments are supported
            case value2:
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
