Description

With the current PropertyDescriptor builder implementation we can only use enum names.

 

public <E extends Enum<E>> Builder allowableValues(final E[] values) {
    if (null != values) {
        this.allowableValues = new ArrayList<>();
        for (final E value : values) {
            allowableValues.add(new AllowableValue(value.name(), value.name()));
        }
    }
    return this;
} 

We should add an option to be able to pass an enum class as allowableValues to the builder with displayName and description as well.
