public class IntEnum
extends Enum

A type safe enumeration object that is keyed by an Int value for switch statements and storage in DBs.

Used for indicating distinct states in a generic manner where each enum should have an associated int value. The given int should be unique for each enum value as hashCode and equals depends solely on the int value given. Most child classes should extend IntEnum and create static instances.
