Description

As per http://www.groovy-lang.org/semantics.html default must be the last thing in switch case.

Based on that I sent a PR which has been accepted
https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/pull/82

But when I tried to use default somewhere else it worked fine

String str = "aseem"

switch(str) {
    default:
        println "default"
        break
    case "aseem":
        println "Aseem"
        break
}
