/**
 * 
 * A ComboBoxModel implementation that safely wraps an Enum. It allows the
 * developer to directly use an enum as their model for a combobox without any
 * extra work, though the display can can be further customized.
 * 
 * 
 * Simple Usage
 * 
 * 
 * The simplest usage is to wrap an enum inside the
 * EnumComboBoxModel and then set it as the model on the combo
 * box. The combo box will then appear on screen with each value in the
 * enum as a value in the combobox.
 * 
 * 
 * ex:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 *  enum MyEnum { GoodStuff, BadStuff };
 *  ...
 *  JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();
 *  combo.setModel(new EnumComboBoxModel(MyEnum.class));
 * 
 * 
 * Type safe access
 * 
 * By using generics and co-variant types you can make accessing elements from
 * the model be completely typesafe. ex:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * EnumComboBoxModel<MyEnum> enumModel = new EnumComboBoxModel<MyEnum1>(
 *         MyEnum1.class);
 * 
 * MyEnum first = enumModel.getElement(0);
 * 
 * MyEnum selected = enumModel.getSelectedItem();
 * 
 * 
 * Advanced Usage
 * 
 * Since the exact toString() value of each enum constant may not
 * be exactly what you want on screen (the values won't have spaces, for
 * example) you can override to toString() method on the values when you declare
 * your enum. Thus the display value is localized to the enum and not in your
 * GUI code. ex:
 * 
 * 

 *    private enum MyEnum {GoodStuff, BadStuff;
 *        public String toString() {
 *           switch(this) {
 *               case GoodStuff: return "Some Good Stuff";
 *               case BadStuff: return "Some Bad Stuff";
 *           }
 *           return "ERROR";
 *        }
 *    };
 * 
 * 
 * Note: if more than one enum constant returns the same {@code String} via
 * {@code toString()}, this model will throw an exception on creation.
