or use methods. I can see Niall's point if you use the enum in a switch
statement and suddenly not all values are any longer addressed. But with
static methods, this is not the case:
class SystemUtils {
boolean isJava16() {
return JavaVersion.atLeast(JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6);
}
}
However, I am not sure if we do us a favor with Android, if we don't mask
its version i.e. do not return at least 1.5 compatibility. If a library uses
this version check and an Android programmer wanted to use that library in
his app, he has a problem. We created such a bad (Android) user experience
in XStream and therefore I cannot recommend this approach at all.
