Enums have a to string method one use to make them look less ancient.
I actually find the uppercase printout makes them stand out as option values more than
they do as plain text
You do autocomplete - the options are what is there...no matter if its lowercase or
uppercase.
, but also, using the toString() name might make it more difficult to
convert back to the object.
if the tostring is just the lowercased version its not going to be hard ;)
Btw. Aren't enums static and thus bad for something like expandable lists ?
Most of the lists you're seeing aren't expandable :)
Because they are enums ? :P
List of known repositories sounds like something you would like to expand on and not have
limited to specific list....
same with many options IMO.
But what in specific are your concerns with this? I may have missed
something important.
1) It looks UGLY
2) I have to type capital letters to get the matching options - unless seam forge becomes
case insensitive but then you have problems with file matching on most OS's
3) it looks like Seam Forge is SHOUTING at me
