I'd like to vote for this as well. I realize that it isn't logically
consistent since the code after a case is a statement sequence and not a
statement as it would be after an if. That said the vast majority of uses of
case statements treat the code after a case statements as a logical block
whether it is enclosed in braces or not.

Think of supporting this style as a sop to all of those who think that C
style unstructured case statements are an abomination that should never been
allowed to make it into Java.

Subject: [Eap-list] switch statement issue


This issue with the switch statement has been around for a while...

The "indent case from switch" preferences doesn't work correctly for me. For
clarity, I always use braces in my case statements:

        switch ( x )
        {
                case 1:
                {
                        // code
                        break;
                }

                case 2:
                {
                        // code
                        break;
                }
        }

If "indent case from switch" is checked, IDEA formats as:
 
                switch ( x )
                {
                        case 1:
                                {
                                        // code
                                        break;
                                }

                        case 2:
                                {
                                        // code
                                        break;
                                }
                }

If "indent case from switch" is not checked, IDEA formats as:

                switch ( x )
                {
                case 1:
                        {
                                // code
                                break;
                        }

                case 2:
                        {
                                // code
                                break;
                        }
                }
