Hi All,

Not sure if this is a bug or if I am going a bit crazy.. Am trying to do some quick testing of enums in an Eclipse jpage Scrapbook (using JDK 1.7.0_02, Win XP 64-bit, Eclipse Juno)

class A {
    enum Month {JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC}
}
A a = new A();

When I try to execute this I get:

The member enum Month can only be defined inside a top-level class or interface

Alternatively, I try moving the enum out of the class definition as below:

enum Month {JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC}
Month.valueOf("JAN");

These are the errors I got for the above:

The member enum Month can only be defined inside a top-level class or interface
Month cannot be resolved

Any advice would be appreciated!

Rob
