Can Enums SKip Values

807603Jan 22 2008 — edited Jan 23 2008
I haven't worked with Enums in awhile, but I was wondering if it can skip values.

For instance, I am implementing a spec that has error codes in it that for some reason skip some values.

They go 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,11 skipping 7 and 9

I'd like to make an enum for these constants, but I don;t think this is possible.

I can always use static final int if needed
