JDT AST question: why does EnumConstantDeclaration uses an anonymous class? [message #250502]

Hi,

Just wondering if people who were involved in the development of the Java
AST can shed some light here. The EnumConstantDeclaration is using an
anonymous class to represent the actual class body that may accompany the
constant itself. This seems like a solution that works, but it's not
exactly aligned with the Java languages spec.

Are there any plans to fix it?

Thanks.

Why are you saying that this doesn't align with the specs. The body of
an enum constant can actually be seen as a anonymous class of the type
of the enum class.
