Question

Product.java

public interface Product {
    /**
     * use this interface for creating your own enumerate of products
     */
    public static interface Category {
        enum MyCategory {vegetable, fruit, chocolate};   // i create my own enumerate

    }

}

in my MyProduct.java i need implement getCategory() method

public class MyProduct implements Product {

    @Override
    public Category getCategory() {
     // ???
    }

}

but i don't know how to access enumerate from interface Category and still returning variable of Category. Con you help me please. Sorry for bad description of my problem, but I hope you understand what I need :)

Answer 1

The full name of the enum would be Product.Category.MyCategory (prefixed by the package name if any). Within Product, you can write that as just Category.MyCategory.
