/**
* Maps an enum constant in {@link Enum} type to XML representation.
*
* <p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
*
* <p> The <tt>@XmlEnumValue</tt> annotation can be used with the
* following program elements:
* <ul>
* <li>enum constant</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
*
* <p>This annotation, together with {@link XmlEnum} provides a
* mapping of enum type to XML representation.
*
* <p>An enum type is mapped to a schema simple type with enumeration
* facets. The schema type is derived from the Java type specified in
* <tt>@XmlEnum.value()</tt>. Each enum constant <tt>@XmlEnumValue</tt>
* must have a valid lexical representation for the type
* <tt>@XmlEnum.value()</tt>
*
* <p> In the absence of this annotation, {@link Enum#name()} is used
* as the XML representation.
*
* <p> <b>Example 1: </b>Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet</p>
* <pre>
* //Example: Code fragment
* @XmlEnum(String.class)
* public enum Card { CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, SPADES }
*
* <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
* <xs:simpleType name="Card">
* <xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="CLUBS"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="DIAMONDS"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="HEARTS"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="SPADES"/>
* </xs:simpleType>
* </pre>
*
* <p><b>Example 2: </b>Map enum constant name(value) -> enumeration facet </p>
* <pre>
* //Example: code fragment
* @XmlType
* @XmlEnum(Integer.class)
* public enum Coin {
* @XmlEnumValue("1") PENNY(1),
* @XmlEnumValue("5") NICKEL(5),
* @XmlEnumValue("10") DIME(10),
* @XmlEnumValue("25") QUARTER(25) }
*
* <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
* <xs:simpleType name="Coin">
* <xs:restriction base="xs:int">
* <xs:enumeration value="1"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="5"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="10"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="25"/>
* </xs:restriction>
* </xs:simpleType>
* </pre>
*
* <p><b>Example 3: </b>Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet </p>
*
* <pre>
* //Code fragment
* @XmlType
* @XmlEnum(Integer.class)
* public enum Code {
* @XmlEnumValue("1") ONE,
* @XmlEnumValue("2") TWO;
* }
*
* <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
* <xs:simpleType name="Code">
* <xs:restriction base="xs:int">
* <xs:enumeration value="1"/>
* <xs:enumeration value="2"/>
* </xs:restriction>
