Benedikt Ritter commented on LANG-1136:
---------------------------------------
Yes, but why don't you implement the method in either of your Enums classes?
{code:java}
public enum Day {
MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY
public DayOfWeek translate() {
return DayOfWeek.valueOf(this.name);
}
}
public enum DayOfWeek {
MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY
}
assertEquals(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, Day.Monday.translate());
{code}
Your use case looks pretty specific to me, so I don't see a justification for
adding it to Commons Lang.

> Add a method in EnumUtils to 'translate' an enum value.
> Example :
> Enum1
> Enum2
> Object.enum2
> Enum1 getEnum(Enum1.class, Object.enum2);
> If enum2 is null, returns 2, else returns the Enum1 with the same name as
> Object.enum2, throws exception if no such Enum1.
