Hi, I installed M3 in order to try the new enum support. I already had a
project using enums, and used to build it with Ant, and it compiles
fine. But I did not see any improvement in enum support since M2:
1. In a file that refers an enumeration, I cannot Ctrl+click the
enumeration class to go to its definition. I can, however, Ctrl+click on
an enum constant to go to its definition. For instance, EventType being
an enumeration, and having the following statement in another file:
EventType theEventType = EventType.CONSTRUCTOR_ENTER;
I can ctrl+click on CONSTRUCTOR_ENTER but not on EventType.
2. Switch statement doesn't seem to support enums:
switch (theEventType)
{
case CONSTRUCTOR_ENTER:
//...
}
CONSTRUCTOR_ENTER has the red squiggle, and the error says:
CONSTRUCTOR_ENTER cannot be resolved.
3. Also, abstract methods in enumeration classes are not supported.
I'm not that surprised that the third point is not supported (although
it is not clear from the News and Noteworthy page what is supported or
not), but I am a bit puzzled by the second item, because in the same
News and Noteworthy page there is a screenshot of a switch statement
using an enum (in the "Searching enums, varargs and static imports" item).
Is there something special to do to enable enum support?
