Chrismo,

The Java language does not have enumerated types.  You can use static
final integers, or for type safety (and other features), you can
create a class.  JavaWorld has a good article, entitled "Create
Enumerated Constants in Java", which shows one way to go about this:

Hope this helps.

Ken
