Are varargs allowed in a java enum constructor?

Question

enum MyEnum {
  A( 1, 2, 3, 4),
  B(1, 2),
  C(4, 5, 8, 8, 9);

 private MyEnum( int firstInt, int... otherInts ) {
  // do something with arguments, perhaps initialize a List
 }
}

Are there any problems with this? Any reasons not to do it?

Answer 1

Sure, this is perfectly legal. No reason not to do it if your program requires it.

Answer 2

it does work. You should try to

private MyEnum(int... Ints )

With enums you need to make sure that you access them in a manner the initializes them. A lot of the time an access is all that is needed

MyEnum bob = MyEnum.A;
