Cannot access static field within enum initialiser

Question

In this code I get a compiler error, see comment:

 public enum Type {
   CHANGESET(\"changeset\"),
   NEW_TICKET(\"newticket\"),
   TICKET_CHANGED(\"editedti         


        

Answer 1

My own workaround, though it requires repeating all the enum values:

    public enum Type {
        CHANGESET,
        NEW_TICKET,
        TICKET_CHANGED,
        CLOSED_TICKET;

        private static final Map tracNameMap = new HashMap();
        static {
            tracNameMap.put("changeset", CHANGESET);
            tracNameMap.put("newticket", NEW_TICKET);
            tracNameMap.put("editedticket", TICKET_CHANGED);
            tracNameMap.put("closedticket", CLOSED_TICKET);
        }
        public static Type getByTracName(String tn) {
            return tracNameMap.get(tracNameMap);
        }

    }
