No, just a compilation failure:

$ javac TestRun.java 
TestRun.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
      ew.printval(EnumWrapper.MyEnum.ONE);
        ^
  symbol:   method printval(MyEnum)
  location: variable ew of type EnumWrapper
1 error

The answer in both cases turns out to be to put the sources in a 
directory called 'enum_test' and add "package enum_test;" to the sources.

This allowed TestRun to compile and run while the less verbose and 
slightly modified TestRun2, with a second call to printVal(), now 
compiles and runs with an additional import statement: 

package enum_test;
import enum_test.EnumWrapper.*;
public class TestRun2
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      EnumWrapper ew = new EnumWrapper();
      ew.printVal(MyEnum.ONE);
      ew.printVal(MyEnum.TREE);
   }
}
  
I can live with the additional import statement since it lets me put the 
enum where I want it.

Thanks for your help.
