Hi Adam,
I don't think this is a bug, although I agree the messages are
confusing. Set the development="true" flag in the orion-web.xml and you
get the reason explained more fully. Basically what you have written in
the broken version produces code like this:
switch(1){
// write a new line (but can't be reached!)
case 1:
// write newline, "One", newline
break;
// write a new line (but can't be reached!)
default:
// write newline, "Default", newline
break;
// write a new line (but can't be reached!)
}
and the compiler complains (correctly) that some of the copde can't be reached.
