I believe the only way to do this is to move the enum itself out of the jpage into a new class. So I make the class like so:

package test;
public class Test {
   public enum Month {
      JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC;
   };
}

Then in the jpage:
1. right click and select "Set Imports"
2. click "Add Packages" and enter/select the test package.

Then my jpage will have the following code only:

Test.Month.valueOf("JAN");
