  1. A statement and a statement block can be labeled.
  2. Label names follow the same rule as Java identifiers and are terminated with a colon.
public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int x = 0, y = 0;
    sectionA: x = y + 1;
  }

}

And, here is an example of labeling a block:

public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    start: {
      // statements
    }
  }

}
