I am trying to "globally" declare an enum so I can use it across a
large application. This is an example of what I have tried:


/** File: TestEnum.java ********/
public enum TestEnum {
ONE,
TWO,
THREE,
FOUR;
}


/** File: TestClass.java **********/
public class TestClass {
TestEnum number;

public void setNum(TestEnum num) { number = num; }
public TestClass getNum() { return number; }

}

--

The TestEnum is not being recognized as a valid type ("cannot find
symbol").

Any ideas on a good implementation of this?

Thanks in advance!

^^^^^^^^^
public TestEnum getNum() { return number; }

Return type of getNum() should be TestEnum.

If TestClass.java still doesn't compile (if you still get "cannot find
symbol"), specify your classpath with -classpath option, e.g.:
javac -classpath . TestClass.java

Sorry, that was just a typo.

Still not working.

I created a third file "Thing.java" that implements a simple class and
create one in "TestClass." This object is found. The "enum" still is
not.

Hmm.. Nevermind. All of the sudden, it is compiling and working!? Of
course, I have NO idea what I changed, because those files compare the
same.

Thanks for the assistance!
