Paul Benedict commented on LANG-331:
------------------------------------
>> That allows RandomEnum.RED to equal MyEnum.RED, so you also need to check
>> for inheritence:
The JDK has the strict policy that enums cannot be inherited. That is to say,
that you can't subclass one Enum with another Enum. In JDK 7, there is a
possibility of an abstract Enum may exist, but that only defines methods and no
enumerated constants.
> Fix for LANG-259 broke ValuedEnum.compareTo() on subclassed enumerations

> I have a ValuedEnum abstract subclass that I further subclass to attach
> useful implementation behaviors. The base class overrides getEnumClass(). The
> fix for LANG-259 broke compareTo() since it compares getClass(), not
> getEnumClass().
