Andreas,

It's not possible to define a new enumeration based on an existing one
since Java has no concept of one enumeration restricting or extending
another. So to me it seems that you can't expect this concept to map
properly onto Java. It's best to ask about this on the UML2 newsgroup,
because I don't understand some of these concepts very well, so I've
added it to the "to" list of the reply.
