   No. However, C++ does have it.

   Yes and No. There is no “goto” operator
   used in Java, but one can use break
   statements to branch to a labelled statement, exactly as one would use a goto.

   Yes

   The continue keyword behaves like a goto in that it can redirect the execution of code to a labeled location in the source. Continue can also be used without a label, in which case it behaves less like a goto. However, unlike a goto, continue can only be used in certain other constructs.
