About Java Charts

The tables in this file give literal specifications for different Java constructs. For example, the Program File Chart lists exactly what things can be in a .java file, in what order, and with what syntax. If your code doesn't match these specifications, it is not legal Java and will not compile.¹

See also Java Rules.
