Do you know? Enum in Switch statements

You can now use an enum type in a "switch" statement, Earlier the switch expression had to be an int type.
Sun's Javac says -"enum switch case label must be the unqualified name of an enumeration constant.
So let's understand this with a simple example:

package com.doyou.know;

public class EnumInSwitch {

public static enum Month { Jan, Feb, March }

public void printMonth(Month month) {

switch(month) {
case(Month.Jan): //Wrong: can not use parenthesis
System.out.println("January month..");

case Month.Feb: //Wrong Too: Enum reference can not be qualified
System.out.println("February month..");

case March: //RIGHT : this is how you do it ...
System.out.println("March month...");
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new EnumInSwitch().printMonth(Month.March);
}
}


To summarize:

• In case statement the enum must be used without brackets.
• In case only the unqualified enum name (Jan, Feb, March) must be used.
