Hmm?

   public class ReturnBreak {
       public static void test(int code) {
           switch (code) {
           case 10:
               return;
               break;
           }
       }
   }

   $ javac ReturnBreak.java
   ReturnBreak.java:6: error: unreachable statement
               break;
               ^
   1 error
