Declare enumeration variables in Java beans

I need to declare an enumeration variable as a class member and define a setter and getter for it like a java bean Something like this –

public class Vehicle {
 private String id;
 private String name;
 enum color {
   RED,GREEN,ANY;
 }
 // setter and getters
}

Now, I want to set the color property to red, green, or any other class and want to make a decision accordingly

Solution

Enum must be made public for the outside world to see:

public class Vehicle {
     private String id;
     private String name;

     public enum Color {
       RED,ANY;
     };

     private Color color;    

     public Color getColor(){
        return color; 
     }

     public void setColor(Color color){
         this.color = color;
     }   

    }

Then from outside the bag you can do:

vehicle.setColor(Vehicle.Color.GREEN);

If you only need to use vehicle in the same package as vehicle Color, you can delete public from the enumeration declaration
