Hi,
The following code:
print(" - Start");
int[] num = new int[] {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
for(int i : num)
{
    print("--> "+ i);
    try
    {
        Print("    . try");
        if(i == 2)
            break;
    }
    catch (java.lang.Exception e)
    {}
    finally
    {
        print("    . finally");
    }
}
print(" - End");

does not break as expected but runs all 10 iterations. If I remove the
finally block everything works as expected. Can someone tell me why
this is?

Best,
Nils

P.S.
I posted this question at [1] but it seems there are not so many
beanshell users at stackoverflow...
