You can add attributes to the schema, e.g.:
{"type":"enum", "name":"MyEnum",
"symbols":["FOO", "BAR", "BAZ"],
"indexes":[10,11,12],
"descriptions"["foo is...", "bar is..", "baz is"]
}
Then, if you generate specific code, you can access this with something like:
int fooIndex =
MyEnum.getClassSchema().getJsonProp("indexes").get(FOO.ordinal()).getIntValue();
