Indexing enum in compass-lucene

Question

I am using Compass for filtering data out from a DTO object. I mark fields with @SearchableComponent if it is a POJO object, with SearchableProperty if it is a String. That works perfectly: I get the object and String indexed.

My question is how would I annotate an ENUM data type?

Example of enums I have:

public enum FooBar {
    FOO("foo"),
    BAR("bar");
    private final String value;

    ..(constructor)..

    public String value() {
        return value;
    }
}

Where in this snippet I should put an annotation and which annotation I should put?

From version 2.1 forward this works out of the box using @SearchableProperty annotation to the field that is of the type of this enum eg.

    @SearchableProperty    
    FooBar foobar;

Search uses enum name as the returned type of filtering. Dealing with the value thing that was on the question is to be handled after search is made with names.
