Is label in java make spaghetti code?

I've just read about spaghetti code ( wiki link) that "goto" statement creates, I wonder if label in java makes spaghetti code?

I just interested in this because one of my old question about break and label in java that I asked here

Solution

  • The main problem with labels is that they are rarely used which means they are surprising and possibly confusing for a reader. e.g

    http://stackoverflow.com/
System.out.println("Hello SO");

    At first glance, that doesn't even look like valid Java code, but it is.

    Because labels tend to be used only when the are really needed, and sometime not used when they should have been used IMHO, they don't lead to spaghetti code in Java in reality.
