I've having a problem with 3.1 M2 and enums. The new and noteworthy
section says it will support code like:

enum Color { RED, GREEN, BLUE }

class Printer {
printColors(List<Color> pallet) ...

The problem is that I get an error indicating that "Color" can't be resoved
to a type. I tried a very simple statement:

enum Color { RED, GREEN, BLUE }
List<Color> colorList = new LinkedList<Color>();

Any ideas on the problem? I can compile the code fine with javac. Is there a
way to fire javac externally...would this help? Thanks in advance!

eclipse but will have to find another solution... Any ideas or workarounds
would be appreciated.

Actually, it's just a matter of the text on the new and noteworthy being
misleading.

"The new J2SE 5.0 keywords enum and @interface are now highlighted. The
brackets of type parameter lists are auto-completed and matching
brackets are highlighted."

This doesn't mean that Eclipse supports enumerations from a programmatic
perspective, it just means the UI will render them as keywords :/.

I understand you fully [I am just preparing to emigrate to netbeans.org]

I'm using enums and annotations in one of my projects, with an ANT build.

I got some basic support for enums working. Still missing enum constant with
arguments and bodies, but this should occur quickly.
Plus all subtle error situations to diagnose...

Enum constants with arguments are now operational.

Which build is it? N20041019 ? Because I20041019 seems to be buggy.

As do the nightly builds up to and including N20041021. I guess we just have
to wait.

What a mess this thing would be without unit tests! (As would my own
projects). JUnit gets my nod for most all-time valuable software per line of
code.

Waiting and watching those JUnit reports for an acceptable build! ;=)
