I'm aware of the class approach but I don't see that the added complexity is warranted.
We do use static final int and a naming convention to simulate enum, but of course you lose the benefit of syntactic typing constraints.
My point was to subtly indicate that some of the earlier suggestions don't translate directly to the current platform due to Java ME limitations.
