* This is effectively a C-style enumeration. Java doesn't do enumerations * like C, so you have to wrap a class around it. It's a bit more typing, * but pretty simple-minded. * Note that the variables are declared public. The default for access * is package-wide, but these variables might need to be accessed from * outside the package. Since all the variables are final (i.e. constant), nobody can * change anything anyway, so this is no biggie.
* To use these enumerations in your Java code, import the package first:
* import mil.navy.nps.disEnumerations.*;
* You access this via something like MajorModulationTypefield.UNMODULATED, i.e. combine
* the class name, a period, and a class variable (enumeration) name.
* *
MajorModulationTypefield.toString (0) returns the string "OTHER"
