Enum HintKind

java.lang.Enum<HintKind>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<HintKind>

public enum HintKind
extends Enum<HintKind>

What a String build hint really holds.

The attribute's Java type says whether a hint is a flag, a number, a list or one of a closed set. It cannot say which KIND of string a string is, and the Settings editor picks its control from exactly that: a version gets a version field, a secret gets a masked one, an XML fragment gets a multi-line box.

Named rather than spelled out in a string member, so a typo is a compile error instead of a hint that quietly renders as a plain text field.
