      After a terminology update in JavaSE 16, the JLS uses the phrase "enum classes" rather than "enum types": compare

      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.9

      The messages in javac's compiler properties should be aligned with the revised wording.

       See "Consistent Class and Interface Terminology" document:

      for the full terminology update.
