As Oliver pointed out, it won't compile. And here is the exact message:
Topic005889.java:12: 'continue' must be in loop.
continue outer;
^
I cut and pasted your code in a file/class named by this topic.
Note, you were missing a ";" at the end of the continue statement.

Hope this helps.
Have a good day.
