Enumeration types similar to the c++ "enum" are not available in Java. I
searched the bug reports and could not find a match, this may be from a
dilution of other issues related to the terms Enumeration, Enumerated. Along
with the issues and workarounds outlined in

http://www.firstsql.com/java/gotchas/lfside3.htm

there is no way to use a type checked enumeration in the java "switch" statement with any of the cumbersome
workarounds. I find I use a lot of enumerations with my coding style, it seems
this would also be useful for others programming in Java. I could go on here
but the point I am trying to make is simple.
