We are always taught to make sure we use a break in switch statements to avoid fall-through.
The Java compiler warns about these situations to help us not make trivial (but drastic) errors.
I have, however, used case fall-through as a feature (we don’t have to get into it here, but it provides a very elegant solution).

Any Ideas?
If you really, really must do this, and you are sure you are not making a mistake, check out the @SuppressWarnings annotation. I suppose in your case you need
