      • CONSTANT

        public static final Category CONSTANT
        A constant property is a property with a value that does not change over time. In eCl@ss this kind of category has the category 'Coded Value'.
      • PARAMETER

        public static final Category PARAMETER
        A parameter property is a property that is once set and then typically does not change over time. This is for example the case for configuration parameters.
      • VARIABLE

        public static final Category VARIABLE
        A variable property is a property that is calculated during runtime, i.e. its value is a runtime value.

      • values

        public static Category[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Category c : Category.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Category valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
