Hi Chris,

Looks good - thanks for tackling this one. Comments below:

Since this is a coercion method, it might be more flexible to check for value != null and call toString() on it.

Was there a reason you put this in a separate method? I imagined we'd just inline it in the coerce method.

Same comment here as above - it would probably be more flexible to call toString() rather than cast to String. Also, null is a valid enum value, so we should allow it.

In general, we don't define "thrower" methods. You could instead define a constant for your exception message and re-use that in each catch block. Later, when we (hopefully) get multi-catch in JDK 7, we can consolidate blocks like this.

Since the same functionality is available by calling coerce() directly, I think it would be best to simply inline it there.

If we made this change between 1.5 and a hypothetical 1.6 release, it might make sense to deprecate them. However, since we're moving to 2.0, I think it is OK to simply remove them (we expect to see major API changes across major releases).

One other thing I was wondering about is whether I should have deprecated
the setXXX(String) methods that I removed.
I've noticed past API changes that might have deprecated methods but didn't
(generally renaming methods).
Obviously it would be less imposing on users to keep the deprecated methods
for at least a single release.

I can back out the change & deprecate the methods if preferred.

I was thinking it might be useful in its own right & the logic is different
enough from the primitives coercion.
If you'd rather have it inline, I can make the change.

I should have removed it earlier actually, as I simplified the exception
message so it can just as easily be created using a constant as you
suggested.  I blame delays between writing, testing and checking in for not
catching it. :)
