Is there a way to use the "values()" method from a generic enum ?

public class TCP_Message<T extends Enum<T>> {

    public T anEnum;

    public void doSomething() {
        anEnum = T.values().values[0];
    }
}

this code does not allow me to access .values().

    No. You'll need to provide the class of the enum. Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 17:18

    If you have the Class object of the enum -- as you'll probably need -- you can use getEnumConstants(). Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 17:22
