This is a good look at the dangers of diffusing semantic knowledge in general. His approach is much more true to OOP paradigms.

In Java, you can take this a stop further, and use enums basically as enumerated instances of a class. Example:

public enum Stuff { Stuff1(param1), Stuff2(param2);

    private Object param;
    private Stuff(Object param){
        this.param = param;
    }

    public getParam(){
        return this.param;
    }

}

Now you can call Stuff1.getParam();
