In order to support the XmlEnum annotation in JAXB, we would need the ability to generate dynamic enums as well as classes.  Currently you can build a DynamicEntity representing an enum, but DynamicEntity itself is a class and will not be usable where an enum is needed.

This support could be added on DynamicClassLoader, e.g.:

DynamicEntity myEnum = dynamicClassLoader.createDynamicEnum(enumClassName);

Could we have a new implementation of DynamicEntity, i.e. DynamicEnumImpl?
