Question

I have multiple enum’s that all have the same constructor and attributes, like this:

enum Enum1 {
    A(1,2),
    B(3,4);

    public int a, b;
    private Enum1(int a, int b) {
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
    }
}


enum Enum2 {
    C(6,7),
    D(8,9);

    public int a, b;
    private Enum1(int a, int b) {
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
    }
}

and so on…
Unfortunately Enum1 and Enum2 already extend Enum, so it isn’t possible to write a superclass they could extend.
Is there another way to archive this?

Update: here comes a “real-world” example. Think of a classic rpg, where you have items, armour, weapons etc. which give you a bonus.

enum Weapon {
    SWORD(3,0,2),
    AXE_OF_HEALTH(3,4,1);

    // bonus for those weapons
    public int strength, health, defense;
    private Weapon(int strength, int health, int defense) {
        this.strength = strength;
        this.health = health;
        this.defense = defense;
    }
}

enum Armour {
    SHIELD(3,1,6),
    BOOTS(0,4,1);

    // bonus
    public int strength, health, defense;
    private Weapon(int strength, int health, int defense) {
        this.strength = strength;
        this.health = health;
        this.defense = defense;
    }
}

Enums extend Enum. They cannot also extend something else. However, they can implement interfaces.

You can make them both implement a common interface, and put your getA(), getB() methods on the interface.
