Michael Neale commented on JBRULES-1539:
----------------------------------------

Hmm... yes interesting.. once we can be 1.5 only, this can be done as a mod to SuggestionCompletionLoader - so that if it sees a field which is an enum, it loads them.

> It would be nice if enum [real Java 5+] fields were first class citizens, and the BRMS UI had the same functionality as the BRMS-defined enums described in JBRULES-1090.
> For example, if Driver.locationRiskProfile in the insurance example were changed to a RiskLevel enum, the BRMS would use reflection (or similar) to create a drop-down box based on the RiskLevel members.
> Another optional extension of that would be the ability to assign displayed text for enums in the same way that JBRULES-1090 describes:
> RiskLevel : ['LOW=Low Risk', 'MED=Medium Risk']
> where LOW and MED would correspond to enum values.
