* <p>As shown, each enum has a name and a value. These can be accessed using
* <code>getName</code> and <code>getValue</code>.</p>
*
* <p><em>NOTE:</em> Because the switch is ultimately sitting on top of an
* int, the example above is not type-safe. That is, there is nothing that
* checks that JAVA1_0_VALUE is a legal constant for JavaVersionEnum. </p>
*
* <p>The <code>getEnum</code> and <code>iterator</code> methods are recommended.
* Unfortunately, Java restrictions require these to be coded as shown in each subclass.
* An alternative choice is to use the {@link EnumUtils} class.</p>
