+<h2>Migration to Java5</h2>
+<p>Java now provides Enums and the existing code can go away, with the
following code changes. </p>
+
+<p>Firstly rewrite your enum as a Java enum. See the
+ <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html";>Java
tutorial</a> for more. </p>
+
+<p>Then change the following: </p>
+
+<pre>
+ getEnum -> valueOf
+ getEnumList -> new ArrayList( EnumSet.allOf(enumClass) ) // or just use an
EnumSet
+ iterator -> EnumSet.allOf(...).iterator()
+ getEnumMap -> org.apache.commons.lang.EnumUtils.asMap(enumClass)
+</pre>
