Method Detail

generateBitVector

@SafeVarargs
public static <E extends Enum<E>> long generateBitVector(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                         E... values)

Creates a long bit vector representation of the given array of Enum values.

This generates a value that is usable by processBitVector(java.lang.Class<E>, long).

Do not use this method if you have more than 64 values in your Enum, as this would create a value greater than a long can hold.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum we are working with, not null

values - the values we want to convert, not null

Returns:

a long whose value provides a binary representation of the given set of enum values.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if enumClass or values is null

IllegalArgumentException - if enumClass is not an enum class or has more than 64 values

Since:

3.0.1

Creates a long bit vector representation of the given subset of an Enum.

This generates a value that is usable by processBitVector(java.lang.Class<E>, long).

Returns:

a long whose value provides a binary representation of the given set of enum values.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if enumClass or values is null

IllegalArgumentException - if enumClass is not an enum class or has more than 64 values, or if any values null

Returns:

the enum, null if not found

Gets the enum for the class, returning defaultEnum if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:
