I agree that especially when each switch case is on a single line, indenting is
the most sensible thing to do. It's a little more defensible to treat the
standard switch `case NNNN:`, on a line by itself, as a label which is placed
at the same indentation level as the switch itself (but even indenting it is
more consistent).
Taking this example:
Option 1 - don't indent:
String s = switch(val) {
case 1 -> "one";
case 2 -> "two";
// ...
default -> "unknown";
};
Option 2 - indent:
String s = switch(val) {
case 1 -> "one";
case 2 -> "two";
// ...
default -> "unknown";
};
It seems pretty clear that the second option is easier to read. Virtually _all_
such uses in the JDK, and all uses up to now in JavaFX use the second pattern.
@andy-goryachev-oracle care to make a counter-argument?
