This works ok for me.
Can you give a step-by-step example to reproduce the problem?
Thanks.

If you mean the expressions that appear in each case statement, they *must* be 
literals or final variables of int type, and that is not a IDE bug, it is a 
Java language requirement.

Closing, please reopen if you have steps which reproduce an actual bug (e.g. 
comparing to other compilers behavior). Also, then please indicate which build 
number you are using.

In the future please append your comments directly to bug reports and do not 
send them by email. Thanks.
