Description egiva 2007-11-08 10:25:36 UTC
There are no method in TreeMaker to create enumeration literal
Comment 1 Jan Becicka 2008-02-01 09:40:01 UTC
Enumeration literal?
There is not any enumeration literal in JLS. Use make.Identifier.
Comment 2 egiva 2008-02-01 11:28:11 UTC
I mean we have let say:
enum Color
{
BLACK, WHITE;
}

How could I create enumeration members BLACK, WHITE? Do you really mean by Identifier? But it must be a "VariableTree",
is n't it?
Comment 3 Jan Becicka 2008-02-01 12:18:07 UTC
I thought, that you want to use enum constant like this setColor(Color.WHITE)

So make.Variable does not work for you?


Comment 4 egiva 2008-02-01 12:31:35 UTC
It doesn't distinct from simple field (variable creates only field). Suppose we have BLACK as literal, but WHITE as field

enum Color
{
BLACK; 
public static final Color WHITE;
}
Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2008-02-01 15:33:44 UTC
Let's make things clear.

1. Literal is term from lexical analysis. BLACK is not literal, it is identifier, I hope. :)
2. From Elements point of view: BLACK is enum constant, WHITE is field
3. From Trees point of view, there is no difference between enum constant and field. Both are represented by VariableTree.
Comment 6 egiva 2008-02-01 15:54:50 UTC
I use literal (more from UML terms), but if you prefer - let it be identifier, or perhaps better use enum constant as it
is used in Java. But problem still exist. 
From Trees, perhaps your implementation doesn't make difference, but when I am updating code for me is important where
to put variable - before separator ";" or after. For compiler it is important too (even if it is simple variable in
classfile) :)

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 8 Rastislav Komara 2009-02-03 10:55:36 UTC
Overtake.
Comment 9 Jan Lahoda 2009-08-20 09:59:45 UTC
Reassigning all moonko's java/source bugs to myself.

Bug prior to 7.0, not touched for the last 2 years --> P4.
