[Strong Liu (JIRA)]

use enum instead of constant
----------------------------

                 Key: HHH-6294
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6294
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Strong Liu
            Assignee: Strong Liu


to keep compatibility, hibernate core uses constant (int, String) for representing enumerated types, now since hibernate core 4 has moved to jdk 6, so it is time to move to Enum

FYI:
- before hibernate 3.5 --- *JDK 1.4*
- hibernate 3.6 --- *JDK 1.5*
- hibernate 4 --- *JDK 6*
