Switch + enum ????

Question

Hello all,
This is a simple example in which i use switch statement to compare enum value, ok
package mypackage;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
enum Color {red,green,blue}
Color c1 = Color.red;
Color c2 = Color.green;
Color c3 = Color.blue;
switch(c1){
case red:
System.out.println("red");
break;
case green:
System.out.println("green");
break;
case blue:
System.out.println("Blue");
break;
/* It seems simple as u all may agree, but when i execute the coe, an exception is thrown : "java.lang.ClassFormatError: mypackage.Test$1"
when i press the exception it directs me to the switch keyword !!
any one knows why ? please help
*/

Man, why do you keep like addressing everyone like man, man, you know?
I really feel that what you are demonstrating most of all thus far is a great example of why neophytes should not use IDE's. Your description of the error and the way you threw in that bit about ClassFormatError coupled with differing versions smells.
I think when you do post code that compiles you'll still have the basic problem of an incompatible runtime and compiler. I suggest putting away the IDE for now until you have resolved this issue.
