I guess it's because of earlier versions, but there are also questions on efficiency of enums in compiled code going on at the moment. For example:
* GWT write up on possible future optimisations for enums: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/EnumOptimizations * another write up here: http://timepedia.blogspot.com/2009/04/gwts-type-system-is-more-powerful-than.html //Adam On 11 Maj, 15:02, Antoine <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello. > > I’m currently playing with GWT and there is something I don’t > understand: why do you use private classes and not enumeration.
