Description
Recent changes to the enum spec (5009601) have made applying the final and abstract modifiers to enums illegal in source code (javac will mark the classes as appropriate).  Therefore, it would be preferable if the javadoc for an enum did not display those modifiers either.
Comments
PUBLIC COMMENTS Closing as a dup of 5009943, which fixes the bug where "final" appears in the Enum documentation. We've never has "abstract" appear in the documentation. The original spec has instructions to filter out "abstract". ###@###.### 2004-04-21
