How do I break out of nested loops in Java?

Question

I\'ve got a nested loop construct like this:

for (Type type : types) {
    for (Type t : types2) {
         if (some condition) {
             // Do somethin

Demo for break, continue, and label:

Java keywords break and continue have a default value. It's the "nearest loop", and today, after a few years of using Java, I just got it!

It's seem used rare, but useful.
