[jira] [Commented] (IO-239) Convert IOCase to a Java 1.5+ Enumeration

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13659656#comment-13659656 ] 

Sebb commented on IO-239:
-------------------------

It looks like conversion to an enum may not break compatibility; Clirr does not complain, though it does report the following informationals for IOCase:

Added java.lang.Comparable to the set of implemented interfaces
Added java.lang.Enum to the list of superclasses
Method 'public org.apache.commons.io.IOCase valueOf(java.lang.String)' has been added
Method 'public org.apache.commons.io.IOCase[] values()' has been added

Ideally still need to check that code compiled against 2.4 will still work.

> Since Java now properly supports enumerations, I believe that IOCase should now be declared as a proper Java enumeration.
