25   * <p>Abstract superclass for type-safe enums with integer values suitable
26   * for use in <code>switch</code> statements.</p>
27   *
28   * <p><em>NOTE:</em>Due to the way in which Java ClassLoaders work, comparing
29   * <code>Enum</code> objects should always be done using the equals() method,
30   * not <code>==</code>. The equals() method will try <code>==</code> first so
31   * in most cases the effect is the same.</p>
32   *
33   * <p>To use this class, it must be subclassed. For example:</p>
34   *
35   * <pre>
36   * public final class JavaVersionEnum extends ValuedEnum {
37   *   //standard enums for version of JVM
38   *   public static final int  JAVA1_0_VALUE  = 100;
39   *   public static final int  JAVA1_1_VALUE  = 110;
40   *   public static final int  JAVA1_2_VALUE  = 120;
41   *   public static final int  JAVA1_3_VALUE  = 130;
42   *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_0  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.0", JAVA1_0_VALUE );
43   *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_1  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.1", JAVA1_1_VALUE );
44   *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_2  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.2", JAVA1_2_VALUE );
45   *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_3  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.3", JAVA1_3_VALUE );
46   *
47   *   private JavaVersionEnum(String name, int value) {
48   *     super( name, value );
49   *   }
50   * 
51   *   public static JavaVersionEnum getEnum(String javaVersion) {
52   *     return (JavaVersionEnum) getEnum(JavaVersionEnum.class, javaVersion);
53   *   }
54   * 
55   *   public static JavaVersionEnum getEnum(int javaVersion) {
56   *     return (JavaVersionEnum) getEnum(JavaVersionEnum.class, javaVersion);
57   *   }
58   * 
59   *   public static Map getEnumMap() {
60   *     return getEnumMap(JavaVersionEnum.class);
61   *   }
62   * 
63   *   public static List getEnumList() {
64   *     return getEnumList(JavaVersionEnum.class);
65   *   }
66   * 
67   *   public static Iterator iterator() {
68   *     return iterator(JavaVersionEnum.class);
69   *   }
70   * }
71   * </pre>
72   *
73   * <p>The above class could then be used as follows:</p>
74   *
75   * <pre>
76   * public void doSomething(JavaVersionEnum ver) {
77   *   switch (ver.getValue()) {
78   *     case JAVA1_0_VALUE:
79   *       // ...
80   *       break;
81   *     case JAVA1_1_VALUE:
82   *       // ...
83   *       break;
84   *     //...
85   *   }
86   * }
87   * </pre>
88   *
89   * <p>As shown, each enum has a name and a value. These can be accessed using
90   * <code>getName</code> and <code>getValue</code>.</p>
91   *
92   * <p>The <code>getEnum</code> and <code>iterator</code> methods are recommended.
93   * Unfortunately, Java restrictions require these to be coded as shown in each subclass.
94   * An alternative choice is to use the {@link EnumUtils} class.</p>
95   *
96   * @deprecated Replaced by {@link org.apache.commons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum org.apache.commons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum}
97   *          and will be removed in version 3.0. All classes in this package are deprecated and repackaged to 
98   *          {@link org.apache.commons.lang.enums} since <code>enum</code> is a Java 1.5 keyword.
