Methods declared in class Enum

clone, compareTo, describeConstable, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected final Object`	`clone()`	Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
`final int`	`compareTo(FocusEvent.Cause o)`	Compares this enum with the specified object for order.
`final Optional<Enum.EnumDesc<FocusEvent.Cause>>`	`describeConstable()`	Returns an enum descriptor `EnumDesc` for this instance, if one can be constructed, or an empty `Optional` if one cannot be.
`final boolean`	`equals(Object other)`	Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
`protected final void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization has been deprecated for removal.

`final int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
`final String`	`name()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.
`final int`	`ordinal()`	Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).
`String`	`toString()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.
`static <T extends Enum<T>> T`	`valueOf(Class<T> enumClass, String name)`	Returns the enum constant of the specified enum class with the specified name.

Methods declared in class Object

getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
