Can i use a goto in Java?

Question

i want to be able to get a value from a certain function, and based on that value either keep executing the code or exit the function that i am in (the actionPerformed function). is there a way to exit out of that function once you have already entered it so that it will be in the waiting state again?
like this
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event1 )
int dummy = obj.myfunction();
if (dummy == otherDummy)
do something cool
else
send error message
exit the actionPerformed (start over)

Not a goto, no, but you can drop a return statement.
public void foo()
    if (someCondition)
        return 0;
    } else
        if (someOtherCondition)
            x = doSomethingComplicated();
            y = doSomethingElseComplicated();
            return x + y;
        } else return 2;
}
