- Enum Constant Detail
  - SAME
```
public static final ClassRelationType SAME
```
    Classes are the same.
  - ANCESTOR
```
public static final ClassRelationType ANCESTOR
```
    One class is an ancestor of onother one.
  - DESCENDANT
```
public static final ClassRelationType DESCENDANT
```
    One class is a descendant of onother one.
  - UNRELATED

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static ClassRelationType[] 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 (ClassRelationType c : ClassRelationType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ClassRelationType 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
  - isSame
```
public boolean isSame()
```
    Returns whether or not classes are the same.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if classes are the same, false otherwise
  - isAncestor
```
public boolean isAncestor()
```
    Returns whether or not one class is an ancestor of onother one.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if one class is an ancestor of onother one, false otherwise
  - isDescendant
```
public boolean isDescendant()
```
    Returns whether or not one class is a descendant of onother one.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if one class is a descendant of onother one, false otherwise
  - isUnrelated
```
public boolean isUnrelated()
```
    Returns whether or not classes are not related.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if classes are not related, false otherwise
  - isRelated
```
public boolean isRelated()
```
    Returns whether or not classes are related.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if classes are related, false otherwise
  - of
```
public static ClassRelationType of(Object one,
                                   Object another)
```
    Returns one object class relation to another one.
    
    Parameters:
    
    one - some object
    
    another - another object
    
    Returns:
    
    one object class relation to another one
  - of
```
public static ClassRelationType of(Class one,
                                   Class another)
```
    Returns one class relation to another one.
    
    Parameters:
    
    one - some class
    
    another - another class
