ValuedEnum

           Summary: ValuedEnum
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Lang
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: itzik.levin@verint.com


When values of ValuedEnum are defined as final (as the JavaDoc suggests),
then all classes that use this enum will hold the value itself and not reference
after compilation. Compiler substitutes references to final with the value of
final variable itself. Then if you change the value in you enum and recompile 
it, you must recompile also all the classes that use the enum. Otherwise they 
continue to use old value.
