EnumArgumentType

java.lang.Object
- net.sourceforge.argparse4j.impl.type.EnumArgumentType<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Type of enum

All Implemented Interfaces:

ArgumentType<T>
```
@Deprecated
public class EnumArgumentType<T extends java.lang.Enum<T>>
extends java.lang.Object
implements ArgumentType<T>
```
Deprecated.
Use ReflectArgumentType instead.

ArgumentType subclass for enum type.

Since enum does not have a constructor with string argument, it cannot be used with Argument.type(Class). Instead use this class to specify enum type. The enums in its nature have limited number of members. In convert(ArgumentParser, Argument, String), String value will be converted to one of them. If it cannot be converted, convert(ArgumentParser, Argument, String) will throw ArgumentParserException. This means it already act like a Argument.choices(Object...).
