Description
In the compiler-dev thread "Double-semicolon in import statements" [1], it was established that javac allows semicolons in two "interesting" places: 1) after the package declaration and before import declarations, and 2) after one import declaration and before another import declaration. Neither is permitted by the grammar in JLS 7.3. Since Eclipse conforms to the grammar, javac should conform too.
As examples, the following are illegal:
package p; ;;; import X; class Foo {}
package p; import X; ;;; import Y; class Foo {}
while the following is legal (because a top-level ; after the last import declaration represents an "empty" type declaration):
package p; import X; ;;; class Foo {} ;;;
