Enum Constant Detail

OLD_ALPHA

public static final VersionType OLD_ALPHA

Alpha

Indicates that a version has been released during the game's alpha, infdev indev or pre-classic phases (ranging from the initial game version up to 1.0.0).

Note that this differs from the typical classification of version numbers and refers mostly to how the game is to be launched rather than identifying its development phase (thus including the full range up until the end of alpha).

OLD_BETA

public static final VersionType OLD_BETA

Beta

Indicates that a version has been released during the game's beta phase (ranging from beta 1.0 up to 1.9-pre6).

RELEASE

public static final VersionType RELEASE

Release

Indicates that a version has been released after the full release of the game (starting with version 1.0) and is considered stable.

SNAPSHOT

public static final VersionType SNAPSHOT

Snapshot

Indicates that a version is a preview release which does not represent the state of the full release (e.g. it is considered unstable and may change significantly before being released).

Method Detail

values

public static VersionType[] 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 (VersionType c : VersionType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static VersionType 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

isStable

public boolean isStable()

Evaluates whether this particular release type is considered stable (e.g. is relatively unlikely to crash and will not change by much with the exception of bugfixes).

Note that this information should be taken with a grain of salt as history shows that bug fix releases often contain new features in addition to their respective bug fixes and may even be incredibly buggy at times.

isOld

public boolean isOld()

Evaluates whether this particular release type is considered old.

Note that this value does not actually indicate a certain release age but instead refer to release types which are no longer used (e.g. alpha and beta releases). Typically these releases also go hand in hand with special requirements when attempting to launch them.
