/**
 * Maps an enum constant in {@link Enum} type to XML representation.  
 * 
 * <p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
 *
 * <p> The {@code @XmlEnumValue} annotation can be used with the
 *     following program elements:  
 * <ul> 
 *   <li>enum constant</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
 * additional common information.</p>
 *
 * <p>This annotation, together with {@link XmlEnum} provides a
 * mapping of enum type to XML representation.
 *
 * <p>An enum type is mapped to a schema simple type with enumeration
 * facets. The schema type is derived from the Java type specified in
 * {@code @XmlEnum.value()}. Each enum constant {@code @XmlEnumValue}
 * must have a valid lexical representation for the type
 * {@code @XmlEnum.value()}
 *
 * <p> In the absence of this annotation, {@link Enum#name()} is used
 * as the XML representation.
 *
 * <p> <b>Example 1: </b>Map enum constant name {@literal ->} enumeration facet</p>
 * <pre>
 *     //Example: Code fragment
 *     &#64;XmlEnum(String.class)
 *     public enum Card { CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, SPADES }
 * {@code
 * 
 *     <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
 *     <xs:simpleType name="Card">

 *         <xs:enumeration value="HEARTS"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="SPADES"/>
 *     </xs:simpleType>
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p><b>Example 2: </b>Map enum constant name(value) {@literal ->} enumeration facet </p>
 * <pre>
 *     //Example: code fragment
 *     &#64;XmlType
 *     &#64;XmlEnum(Integer.class)
 *     public enum Coin { 
 *         &#64;XmlEnumValue("1") PENNY(1),

 *         &#64;XmlEnumValue("25") QUARTER(25) }
