Java compilers or JVM languages that support goto?

Question

Is there a java compiler flag that allows me to use goto as a valid construct? If not, are there any third-party java compilers that supports goto?

Answer 1

Pretty much anything you can do with goto you can do with a loop. goto is really redundant and generally discredited way to program. IMHO.

If you want to goto backwards

LABEL: do {
// code before goto

// goto LABEL
continue LABEL;

// code after goto
break;
} while(true);

If you want to goto forwards

LABEL: do {
// code before goto

// goto LABEL
continue LABEL;

// code after goto
break;
} while(false);
// Label is effectively here
// code after LABEL.
