copied!<p>This is not related to generics. Switch statement for enum in java can only use values of that particular enum, thus it's <em>prohibited</em> to actually specify enum name. This should work: </p> <pre><code>switch(event.getId()) { case SELECTED: l.selected(event); break; case SELECTION_CLEARED: l.unselect(event); break; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Ok, here's an actual code (which I had to change a little bit to get it to compile with no dependencies) that I've copy / pasted, compiled and ran - no errors: </p> <p>AbstractEvent.java</p> <pre><code>public abstract class AbstractEvent<S, T extends Enum<T>> { private S src; private T id; public AbstractEvent(S src, T id) { this.src = src; this.id = id; } public S getSource() { return src; } public T getId() { return id; } } </code></pre> <p>MyEvent.java </p> <pre><code>public class MyEvent extends AbstractEvent<String, MyEvent.Type> { public enum Type { SELECTED, SELECTION_CLEARED }; public MyEvent(String src, Type t) { super(src, t); } } </code></pre> <p>Test.java </p> <pre><code>public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { fireEvent(new MyEvent("MyClass.myMethod", MyEvent.Type.SELECTED)); } private static void fireEvent(MyEvent event) { switch(event.getId()) { case SELECTED: System.out.println("SELECTED"); break; case SELECTION_CLEARED: System.out.println("UNSELECTED"); break; } } } </code></pre> <p>This compiles and runs under Java 1.5 just fine. What am I missing here?</p>
