Map with name() and valueOf(...) for Enums in EnumConverter about dozer HOT 6 CLOSED

Please attach a test case and pull request. This seems to be a valid request.

Does Enum to Enum mapping really occurs in this place? I mean Enum to Enum is mapped in

private <T extends Enum<T>> T mapEnum(Enum<T> srcFieldValue, Class<T> destFieldType) {
  String name = srcFieldValue.name();
  return Enum.valueOf(destFieldType, name);
}

Would it be possible for this to be the default behavior when mapping from Enum to String in Dozer?

this is crit!
if you have toString() override that prints something human-readable (as toString() is supposed to) - dozer will not be able to map enum value to itself.

using name() is a MUST.
