One language feature that I already miss in Java is enumerated types. I've
always used enumerated types, from Pascal to C to C++ and even in Visual
Basic 5.0. They avoid having to use explicit numeric constants. Very very
useful. I've found ways to fake it but it sure isn't as clean as an
enumerated type. What do others do to get around this language omission?
