public abstract class EnumerationType
extends Object

Enumerated data type. To create an emumeration, define a subclass of EnumerationType with a private constructor, and define as many public final static instances of the subclass, within the subclass definition, as there are enumeration cases. No other instances of an EnumerationType should ever be created, and the only operations which should ever be performed on an EnumerationType are assignment and equality testing.
