When are references declared in a switch statement?

To my surprise this code works fine:

int i = 2;
switch(i) {
case 1:
    String myString = "foo";
    break;
case 2:
    myString = "poo";
    System.out.println(myString);
}

But the String reference should never be declared? Could it be that all variables under every case always are declared no matter what, or how is this resolved?
