Something like this:
{code:java}
public interface ParameterEnumerable {

  public abstract int numberOfParameters();
  public abstract Enumeration<Parameter> enumerateParameters();

  public interface Parameter<T> {
    /** @return */
    public abstract String name();
    /** @return */
    public abstract String description();
    /** @return */
    public abstract Class<T> type();
    /** @param stringValue */
    public abstract void setStringValue(String stringValue);
    /** @return */
    public abstract String getStringValue();
    /** @param value*/
    public abstract void setValue(T value);
    /** @return */
    public abstract T getValue();
    /** @return */
    public abstract T defaultValue();

  }
}
{code}
