I'm not sure what you mean here. In Java declarations are
statements, as they should be[*], and so you can put them
right after a case label and everything works great.
(Duff's Device is also illegal in Java, which is a bit sad.
Case labels must occur only immediately inside a switch.)

[*] Actually, declarations should be expressions, as they are
in Nickle (http://nickle.org). This allows some
convenient and clear notation, such as
scanf("%d %d", &(int x), &(int y));
printf("%d %d\n", x, y);
