Haxe Java - How to check Java enums?

[TheHippo]

I've tried the Haxe Java target and so far I'm pretty impressed. (I need something done, but don't like writing Java, so I came back to Haxe.)

I need to wrap an existing Java library and currently using the "-java-lib" compiler flag to access the classes of this library. However a came across a Java enum and cannot figure out how to check / work with them.

The Java enum looks like this:

public enum LocationType
{
 ANY, STATION, POI, ADDRESS
}

How do I check a variable against this enum?

[TheHippo]

i.type is an instance of LocationType.

This does not work:

for (i in locations) {
 switch (i.type) {
 case LocationType.STATION:
   trace("station");
 default:
   trace("other");
 }
}

But this compiles and runs perfectly fine:

for (i in locations) untyped {
 switch (i.type)  {
 case LocationType.STATION:
   trace("station");
 default:
   trace("other");
 }
}

[Cauê Waneck]

Java enums should be converted into Haxe enums when -java-lib is used.

What error does it show? Is LocationType an inner enum? Inner classes and enums have their name mangled.
