["Eric Milles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eric Milles updated GROOVY-8444:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Would it be possible to support this syntax that Java requires for enum constants in switch statements?
{code:java}
enum SomeEnum { A, B }
void meth(SomeEnum e) {
  switch (e) {
  case A: // currently this must be qualified, like SomeEnum.A
    ...
    break
  case B:
    ...
    break
  }
}
meth(someEnumValue) // currently throws MissingPropertyException: No such property: A for class...
{code}
