Enum.values() vs EnumSet.allOf( ). Which one is more preferable?

Question

I looked under the hood for EnumSet.allOf and it looks very efficient, especially for enums with less than 64 values.

Basically all sets share the singl

Answer 1

You should use the approach which is simplest and clearest to you. Performance shouldn't be a consideration in most situations.

IMHO: neither option performs very well as they both create objects. One in the first case and three in the second. You could construct a constant which holds all the values for performance reasons.
