- java.lang.Enum<Diagnostic.Kind>
- - javax.tools.Diagnostic.Kind

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Diagnostic.Kind>, Constable

Enclosing interface:

Diagnostic<S>
```
public static enum Diagnostic.Kind
extends Enum<Diagnostic.Kind>
```
Kinds of diagnostics, for example, error or warning. The kind of a diagnostic can be used to determine how the diagnostic should be presented to the user. For example, errors might be colored red or prefixed with the word "Error", while warnings might be colored yellow or prefixed with the word "Warning". There is no requirement that the Kind should imply any inherent semantic meaning to the message of the diagnostic: for example, a tool might provide an option to report all warnings as errors.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ERROR`	Problem which prevents the tool's normal completion.
`MANDATORY_WARNING`	Problem similar to a warning, but is mandated by the tool's specification.
`NOTE`	Informative message from the tool.
`OTHER`	Diagnostic which does not fit within the other kinds.
`WARNING`	Problem which does not usually prevent the tool from completing normally.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static Diagnostic.Kind`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static Diagnostic.Kind[]`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

  - ERROR
```
public static final Diagnostic.Kind ERROR
```
    Problem which prevents the tool's normal completion.
  - WARNING
```
public static final Diagnostic.Kind WARNING
```
    Problem which does not usually prevent the tool from completing normally.
  - MANDATORY_WARNING
```
public static final Diagnostic.Kind MANDATORY_WARNING
```
    Problem similar to a warning, but is mandated by the tool's specification. For example, the Java™ Language Specification mandates warnings on certain unchecked operations and the use of deprecated methods.
  - NOTE
```
public static final Diagnostic.Kind NOTE
```
    Informative message from the tool.
  - OTHER
```
public static final Diagnostic.Kind OTHER
```
    Diagnostic which does not fit within the other kinds.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Diagnostic.Kind[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Diagnostic.Kind 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
