Hi, here is a quick example for Java beginners: how to write a String enum.

File name: StringEnum.java

package test;

public enum StringEnum {
    STRING_ALPHA("APLHA"),
    STRING_BETA("BETA"),
    STRING_GAMMA("GAMMA");

    private final String value;

    /**
     * @param value
     */
    private StringEnum(final String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return value;
    }
}
