Semicolons are generally only allowed in block expressions. We could it allow in cases, too but it would break the XbaseGrammarAccess. If that is the only grammar change in 2.8, I'd say it's not worth it. If there are other changes, it would be safe to do this cosmetic change, too. removed 2.8 schedule |
The semicolon in class Foo { def String foo() { switch ("X") { case "Y": println("Z"); } } } is surprisingly not allowed. Since Java allows one here, I think it should be allowed.
