 public static enum Diagnostic.Kind extends Enum<Diagnostic.Kind> Kinds of diagnostics, for example, error or warning. The kind of a diagnostic can be used to determine how the diagnostic should be presented to the user. For example, errors might be colored red or prefixed with the word "Error", while warnings might be colored yellow or prefixed with the word "Warning". There is no requirement that the Kind should imply any inherent semantic meaning to the message of the diagnostic: for example, a tool might provide an option to report all warnings as errors.

Method Detail- 
valuespublic static Diagnostic.Kind[] values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:for (Diagnostic.Kind c : Diagnostic.Kind.values()) System.out.println(c); - Returns:
- an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
 
 - 
valueOfpublic static Diagnostic.Kind valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)- Parameters:
- name- the name of the enum constant to be returned.
- Returns:
- the enum constant with the specified name
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
- NullPointerException- if the argument is null
