Hello,
Would it make sense to add a new method for retrieving enum values in
some future version of Configuration?
public<T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumClass)
public<T extends Enum<T>> T getOptEnum(String key, Class<T>
enumClass, T default)
I've got couple of applications where configuration properties are
enums that map to Java enum classes. Having a direct method of
retrieving these enum values would be great for me.
The only downside to this proposal is that it requires a feature from
Java 1.5 whereas Commons Configuration seems to strive for Java 1.4
compatibility. Is this so?
Yes, it is correct that the 1.x series of Commons Configuration is
compatible with Java 1.4.
There has been some work on a branch for a new and improved 2.0 version
targeting Java 1.5, but IMO this is far from being mature.
But you are right, for a version compatible with Java 1.5 support for
enums would be a good feature. We should keep this in mind.
