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
