/**
 * Color enumeration which demonstrates how to define the constants in a
 * different class to the Enum. The extra <code>static{}</code> block is
 * needed to ensure that the enum constants are created before the
 * static methods on the ColorEnum are used.
 * <p>
 * The class loader sees the two classes here as independent - the enum
 * class is nested, not an inner class. The static block thus forces the
 * class load of the outer class, which is needed to initialise the enums.
