Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-03-11 15:53:29 EST 
Having a local enum type is illegal. We support this, but we fail with a syntax
error.
Syntax error on token "enum", interface expected

We suggest interface to be a replacement, but in fact local interfaces are also
illegal. So I would suggest to treat local enums like local interfaces. This
would make it more consistent.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-03-11 16:07:08 EST 
Same treatment should be done for local annotation types.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-03-16 22:42:25 EST 
Fixed and released in HEAD.
Regression test added in EnumTest.test81
