Hi Folks,
I received a private email asking if Jess could work with Java 5
enumerated types. There's no specific code to deal with them, but I
wondered if the existing "static import" feature would work. It turns
out that it does. I wrote this Java enum class:
public enum MyEnum {
FOO, BAR, BAZ;
}
Then in Jess 7, I tried this:
Jess> (import MyEnum)
TRUE
Jess> (MyEnum.FOO)
<Java-Object:MyEnum>
Jess> (eq (MyEnum.FOO) (MyEnum.BAR))
FALSE
Jess> (eq (MyEnum.FOO) (MyEnum.FOO))
TRUE
So importing an enum class will make the values available as the
functions (EnumName.FOO), (EnumName.BAR), etc. Thought this might be
of interest to some of you.
