a compiler error "enum types must be local", check a similar discussion going on at
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=54&threadID=595962

It seems that prior to Java 1.5.0_01 method-scoped enums were allowed:

static void main(String[] args)
{
  enum Colors { RED, GREEN, BLUE };
}

but once in 1.5.0_01 you get the aforementioned compiler error. sounds like
a regression in bug #5081785?
