Description bht 2012-03-03 06:41:44 UTC

I often forget to code it.

Comment 1 Jiri Prox 2012-03-05 12:03:59 UTC

It is already implemented
See Options -> Editor -> Hints -> Standard javac warnings 
there is hint 'Fallthrough', just turn it on

Comment 2 bht 2012-03-06 16:47:00 UTC

Sorry and thanks!

Comment 3 cezariusz 2015-04-06 16:32:59 UTC

Please consider turning this on by default. JDK 8 compiler warns about it, so you should as well. I didn't know about this option until I've found this issue.

Comment 4 Ralph Ruijs 2015-05-04 07:20:51 UTC

Reset assignee and changing to defect, as I think the warnings in the editor should be consistent with javac.

Comment 5 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:17:58 UTC

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
