Unnamed Classes with Initializers

[David Alayachew]

Hello Wesley,

Thank you for reaching out!

I can reproduce your error.

Here are my error logs for context.

~~~

$ java --enable-preview --source 21 abc.java
abc.java:5: error: class, interface, enum, or record expected
static {
       ^
abc.java:7: error: class, interface, enum, or record expected
}
^
abc.java:11: error: class, interface, enum, or record expected
}
^
Note: abc.java uses preview features of Java SE 21.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:preview for details.
3 errors
error: compilation failed

$ cat abc.java
void main() {
        System.out.println("Main");
}

static {
System.out.println("Static");
}

System.out.println("Instance");
}
