    - #### test

          public static final Application.Mode test

      Should be used for unit test runs. Created files etc. should be cleaned up between runs.

    - #### development

          public static final Application.Mode development

      Should be used during development. Typically create in-memory databases etc.

    - #### staging

          public static final Application.Mode staging

      Should be used in QA environments, and other production-like settings where different set of external resources are utilized.

    - #### production

          public static final Application.Mode production

      Should be used in production. All databases are persistent on disk etc.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static Application.Mode[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (Application.Mode c : Application.Mode.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static Application.Mode valueOf(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
