Juan Hernandez has submitted this change and it was merged. Change subject: restapi: Auto-Generate Enums in the API. ...................................................................... restapi: Auto-Generate Enums in the API. This patch adds infrastructure for auto-generating API enums. 'Skeleton' enums, containing only the enum entries, are placed in 'types' package in 'model' project (alongside the API's other business entities). A skeleton enum looks like this: package types; import org.ovirt.api.metamodel.annotations.Type; @Type public enum DiskFormat { COW, RAW; } Full Enum classes with value() and fromValue() methods are generated from the skeleton enums and placed in: ...definition/target/generated-sources/model/org/ovirt/engine/api/model directory. The enums are *not* added to the schema file (api.xsd). The exception to this rule are three existing enums: ValueType, StatisticType, StatisticKind, which do exist in the schema for historic reasons. In the schema file, enums are still represented as strings, for example: <xs:complexType name="Disk"> <xs:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="format" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> But in the model files, the enums themselves are used (instead of strings, which is the case today), for example: @Type public interface Disk extends Device { DiskFormat format(); } Future patches will delete all existing enums, place skeletons for them in model project, and replace string references with enum references where appropriate in model interfaces.
