3.9. Keywords
The following character sequences, formed from ASCII letters, are reserved for use as keywords and cannot be used as identifiers (§3.8):
Keyword: one of
abstract continue for new switch
assert default if package synchronized
boolean do goto private this
break double implements protected throw
byte else import public throws
case enum instanceof return transient
catch extends int short try
char final interface static void
class finally long strictfp volatile
const float native super while
The keywords const and goto are reserved, even though they are not currently used. This may allow a Java compiler to produce better error messages if these C++ keywords incorrectly appear in programs.
While true and falsemight appear to be keywords, they are technically Boolean literals (§3.10.3). Similarly, while nullmight appear to be a keyword, it is technically the null literal (§3.10.7).
