      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      18-ea+14-756

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      JShell fails to parse certain switch expressions when entered interactively line by line, giving "Error: reached end of file while parsing"

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Enter the following, line per line, in JShell:
      void foo(String bar) {
      int v = switch(bar) {
      case "one" -> throw new RuntimeException();

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      JShell displays the prompt to enter the next line
      ACTUAL -
      | Error:
      | reached end of file while parsing
      | case "one" -> throw new RuntimeException();
      | ^

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Enter everything on a single line. For example, entering the following line works:
      void foo(String bar) { int v = switch(bar) { case "one" -> throw new RuntimeException(); default -> 2;};}
