Method Detail

values

public static ApplicationType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ApplicationType c : ApplicationType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ApplicationType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation of this instance. The returned value differs from the enum constant names and is equal to ALPHA_STRING, BETA_STRING, RC_STRING or STABLE_STRING. (Note that STABLE_STRING is empty since the return value of this method shall be used to display the application version to the user.)

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<ApplicationType>

parseType

public static ApplicationType parseType(java.lang.String text)

Parses a text representation of an application type. This method is not case sensitive and the input may contain preceding or trailing white spaces.

Parameters:

text - the string to parse

Returns:

the parsed value or null if the string could not be parsed or was also null
