Method Summary

static java.lang.String	getLocalizedName(java.lang.Enum e) Look up the localized display string for an enumeration.
static java.lang.String[]	getLocalizedNames(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Enum> clazz) Look up all the localized display strings for all values of an enumeration.
static void	registerEnum(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Enum> clazz, java.lang.String resourcePrefix) Register an entire enum class using the specified prefix when building resource names for localized string lookups.
