public interface IEnumType
extends IStringRepresentation

A general interface that allows to mark enum types and therefore use the interface rather than the enum directly. That allows to specify multiple enum implementations for the same purpose.

The methods declared here are automatically implemented by each enum type because they are implicitly inherited from class java.lang.Enum.

name

java.lang.String name()

Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.

ordinal

int ordinal()

Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).

getDeclaringClass

java.lang.Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.
