Enums defined with Array Constant in java

Question

I\'d like to know if it is possible to define an enum with an Array as a constant; see the following code excerpt.

This does not compile with an illegal start of express

Answer 1

For this use case, I would use a vararg approach instead:

public enum Currency {
    PENNY(1, "one", "oneone"),
    NICKLE(5, "five"),
    DIME(10, "ten"),
    QUARTER(25, "twentifive");

    private int valueInteger;
    private String[] valueString;

    private Currency(int valueInteger, String... valueString) {
        this.valueInteger = valueInteger;
        this.valueString = valueString;
    }

}
