Description Peter Simun CLA 2011-09-13 10:01:04 EDT
Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

all fiels in the enum type are always recognized as ElementKind.ENUM_CONSTANT, although they are normal fields.

Let's have simple enum with 2 constants and one field:

public enum Provider {
	IMAP, IMAPS;
	private String name;		
}

Using this routine:
TypeElement enumType = ...; //get the enum type, e.g. processingEnv.getElementUtils().getTypeElement(Provider.class.getCanonicalName())

List<VariableElement> fields = ElementFilter.fieldsIn(enumType.getEnclosedElements());
for (VariableElement field: fields) {
	processingEnv.getMessager().printMessage(Kind.NOTE, "Field " + field.getSimpleName().toString() + " is " + field.getKind().toString());
}

the output is:

Field IMAP is ENUM_CONSTANT
Field IMAPS is ENUM_CONSTANT
Field name is ENUM_CONSTANT

Output from the JAVA compiler is correct:
Field IMAP is ENUM_CONSTANT
Field IMAPS is ENUM_CONSTANT
Field name is FIELD

Reproducible: Always

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
