A method that will look for the first Enum value annotated with the given Annotation.

If there's more than one value annotated, the first one found will be returned. Which one exactly is used is undetermined.

Params:
  • enumClass – The Enum class to scan for a value with the given annotation
  • annotationClass – The annotation to look for.
Throws:
Returns:the Enum value annotated with the given Annotation or null if none is found.
Since:2.8
