The upcoming Java 1.5 version introduces a new keyword "enum"
in the place of "class" and "interface" like in:

public enum Color{
    Red,
    White,
    Blue
}

See for example
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2004/jw-0426-tiger1-p2.html

And jikes is prepared for compiling sources of JDK 1.5
so it reports it as a warning.
