public static <T extends java.lang.Enum<T>> T newInstance(java.lang.Class<T> enumClass,
                                                          java.lang.String name,

                                                          java.lang.Class<?>[] argumentTypes,
                                                          java.lang.Object[] arguments)

Type Parameters:

T - The enum type

Parameters:

enumClass - The enum class

name - The name of the enum value

ordinal - The ordinal of the enum value

argumentTypes - The argument types of the constructor

Add a new enum value to an enum class.
The enum value will be added to the enum class and the enum value cache will be cleared.

Type Parameters:

T - The enum type

Parameters:

enumClass - The enum class

enumValue - The enum value to add

valueOfIgnoreCase

@Nullable
public static java.lang.Object valueOfIgnoreCase(java.lang.Class<?> enumClass,
                                                            java.lang.String name)
