From the Java Language Specification
( http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/lexic al.doc.html#229
308):

"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."
