public final class MyEnum
{
/** The internal value of this enum */
private int m_value;

/** integer versions of this enum for use in switch */
public static final int _Val1 = 0;
public static final int _Val2 = 1;

/** the finite set of enum */
public static final SleepType Val1 = new MyEnum(_Val1);
public static final SleepType Val2 = new MyEnum(_Val2);

/** Private constructor for the static instances of this enum. */
private MyEnum(int optionIntegerValue)
{
this.m_value = optionIntegerValue;
}

/** fn that might be used to get int value for 'switch' statments */
public final int ord()
{
return m_value;
}

.... lots of other methods removed ....
}

So now we can do ....

void fn(MyEnum anEnum)
{
switch (anEnum.ord())
{
case MyEnum._Val1:
;
case MyEnum._Val2:
;
default:
// oh dear
;
}
}
