declaring enums in java

[jacky_cheecheo]

Hi,

how do you declare enums in java?
i tried doing:

private enum Box = {Big, Medium, Small};

i'm getting a compile time error here, i'm using jdk1.4.2_07 with eclipse3.0.1...
please advice...

thanks!

For that java version I think you must make an extension of the

javax.print.attribute.EnumSyntax

In java version 5 you have it ready made:

java.lang.Enum<E>

Try on eclipse3.1 and use java 5.0 jre for compiling. The you can declare enums and al the new features of Java Tiger release
