Scala - Java interop: can Scala emit enums in bytecode for Java to consume?

Question

I have a project that is mixed Java/Scala, it is Java GUI code that makes use of a Scala library. Is there a way to write Scala code such that it will emit Java enums on compile time? The approaches I tried so far (sealed case classes, extend Enumeration) seem to generate normal classes which makes working with them from Java much hairier than straight up enums.

Answer 1

Why can't you write your enum class in Java? Mixed-source (i.e. Java + Scala) projects are perfectly feasible...

Answer 2

Scala only supports Java 1.4 features at this point.

Java Enums were introduced in Java 1.5.
