Description David Audel

2008-04-17 07:28:05 EDT

build I20080415-1646

public class X {
	void foo() {
		abstract enum E {
			
		}
	}
}

This test case produce the following error message:
'The member enum E cannot be local'

The error message catalog the following entry can be found:
752 = Illegal modifier for the local enum {0}; only abstract is permitted

This seems useless as enum cannot be local and cannot be abstract.

Created attachment 112454 [details]
Proposed patch with testcase

Removed the check in ClassScope that checked anonymous enum types since it was redundant

Extended EnumTest test003 with an anonymous type for an enum constant

Other existing tests show that errors for local enum types are reported correctly
