Darran Lofthouse commented on WFLY-1415:
----------------------------------------
I don't think my comments stand as much about the topic branches but I think the
general pattern for parsing has changed a lot over the last five years so a lot of the
newer code shouldn't be as affected by this.
Move away from expensive enum switch

Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: David Lloyd
Priority: Minor
Labels: janitor
We use enums and enum switch extensively. These constructs generate many, many
additional classes and bloat the code base unnecessarily.
All cases where we are using enum-based switches for our XML parsers should be converted
to use Java 7 String switch instead. The enum values shall be replaced with String
constant fields, all enum switches converted to String switches, and all enum types
removed from these classes. The net result should be a reduction by dozens if not
hundreds of .class files, and possibly a measurable performance boost as well.
