      Since JDK 5, the javadoc for the implicit values() method of an enum has included text like:

      "This [values()] method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (RoundingMode c : RoundingMode.values())
          System.out.println(c);"

      This text was a useful tip in 2004 when JDK 5 shipped and the enhanced for-loop was new, but it should be assumed as common knowledge now and thus just clutter in the javadoc output.
