您可以为每个枚举值重写toString()方法。

例子:

public enum Country {

  DE {
    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "Germany";
    }
  },
  IT {
    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "Italy";
    }
  },
  US {
    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "United States";
    }
  }

}

用法:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println(Country.DE); // Germany
  System.out.println(Country.IT); // Italy
  System.out.println(Country.US); // United States
}

Enum是一个有点特殊的类。枚举可以存储额外的字段，实现方法等。例如

public enum Modes {
    mode1('a'),
    mode2('b'),
    mode3('c'),
    ;
    char c;

    private Modes(char c) {
        this.c = c;
    }
    public char character() {
        return c;
    }
}

现在你可以说:

System.out.println (Modes.mode1.character ())

并查看输出: 一个

mode1.name()或String.valueOf(mode1)。恐怕没有比这更好的了

你可以试试这个:

public enum Modes {
    some-really-long-string,
    mode1,
    mode2,
    mode3;

    public String toString(){
        switch(this) {
            case some-really-long-string:
                return "some-really-long-string";
            case mode2:
                return "mode2";
            default: return "undefined";
        }
    }

}

使用mode1.name()或String.valueOf(mode .mode1)

我的解决方案!

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public enum MapEnumSample {
    Mustang("One of the fastest cars in the world!"), 
    Mercedes("One of the most beautiful cars in the world!"), 
    Ferrari("Ferrari or Mercedes, which one is the best?");

    private final String description;
    private static Map<String, String> enumMap;

    private MapEnumSample(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getEnumValue() {
        return description;
    }

    public static String getEnumKey(String name) {
        if (enumMap == null) {
            initializeMap();
        }
        return enumMap.get(name);
    }

    private static Map<String, String> initializeMap() {
        enumMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
        for (MapEnumSample access : MapEnumSample.values()) {
            enumMap.put(access.getEnumValue(), access.toString());
        }
        return enumMap;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // getting value from Description
        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("One of the fastest cars in the world!"));

        // getting value from Constant
        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.Mustang.getEnumValue());

        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("One of the most beautiful cars in the world!"));
        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.Mercedes.getEnumValue());

        // doesnt exist in Enum
        System.out.println("Mustang or Mercedes, which one is the best?");
        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("Mustang or Mercedes, which one is the best?") == null ? "I don't know!" : "I believe that "
                + MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("Ferrari or Mustang, which one is the best?") + " is the best!.");

        // exists in Enum
        System.out.println("Ferrari or Mercedes, wich one is the best?");
        System.out.println(MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("Ferrari or Mercedes, which one is the best?") == null ? "I don't know!" : "I believe that "
                + MapEnumSample.getEnumKey("Ferrari or Mercedes, which one is the best?") + " is the best!");

    }
}
