That's because greeter.getClass() returns FancyEnum$1 which is not a
public class.
You'll need to make messageFor(int) a non-abstract method, then let
the anonymous inner class override that:
public enum FancyEnum {
greeter {
public String messageFor(int value) {
return "Hello there #" + value;
}
};
public String messageFor(int value) {
throw UnsupportedOperationException("requires
implementation by subclass");
}
}
