How do I get the actual Enum value from a PsiEnumConstant instance?

Hello Brian,

What exactly do you mean by the value? The enum constant is the value.

I've got a PsiEnumConstant but I'd need the actual value it represents
(MyEnum.EXAMPLE).  How do I convert it?

I want an Object of type MyEnum. What I did was call MyEnum.valueOf(...) but I was wondering if there was a better way.

Hello Brian,

PSI is a representation of the source code; it doesn't have any direct connection
to classes that have been compiled from the source code, and by default IDEA
doesn't load the compiled classes at all.

I want an Object of type MyEnum. What I did was call
MyEnum.valueOf(...) but I was wondering if there was a better way.

Thanks for clarifying, that's what I came to suspect after asking the question.
