An enum definition like

public enum Suits
{
DIAMONDS, CLUBS, HEARTS, SPADES
}

is flagged as illegal by the editor with lots of red x'es. Furthermore the java enum wizard will not allow one to create an enum that does not implement an interface.

Java enums like the one above are valid syntax. The code above compiles in the java compiler.

How do I get past these issues in the Java ide?

Thanks

Make sure your project uses compiler compliance of 1.5 or higher.
