Modifier (Java Platform SE 7 b138)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Modifier>
- - javax.lang.model.element.Modifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Modifier>
```
public enum Modifier
extends Enum<Modifier>
```
Represents a modifier on a program element such as a class, method, or field.
Not all modifiers are applicable to all kinds of elements. When two or more modifiers appear in the source code of an element then it is customary, though not required, that they appear in the same order as the constants listed in the detail section below.
Note that it is possible additional modifiers will be added in future versions of the platform.

```
public static Modifier[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Modifier c : Modifier.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Modifier valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns this modifier's name in lowercase.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Enum<Modifier>
    
    Returns:
    the name of this enum constant
