How to define static constants in a Java enum?

Question

Is there any way to define static final variables (effectively constants) in a Java enum declaration?

What I want is to define in one place the string literal value

Answer 1

As IntelliJ IDEA suggest when extracting constant - make static nested class. This approach works:

@RequiredArgsConstructor
public enum MyEnum {
    BAR1(Constants.BAR_VALUE),
    FOO("Foo"),
    BAR2(Constants.BAR_VALUE),
    ...,
    BARn(Constants.BAR_VALUE);



    @Getter
    private final String value;

    private static class Constants {
        public static final String BAR_VALUE = "BAR";
    }
}
