A colleague came across some code that looked like this and couldn’t understand how it could ever compile:

class FooClass {
  public static void bar(String arg) {
     System.out.println("arg = " + arg);
     http://www.google.com
     System.out.println("Done!");
  }
}

Basically, there was a random URL pasted in the middle of a method but javac didn’t care.

We worked out so I’ll post the answer if no-one else finds out but I thought it was interesting enough to post.
