I have a generic record that I use to send enum values with a description to my front-end:

public record EnumJson<E extends Enum<E>>(E value, String description) {
}

I have a single endpoint in which I provide many different enums in one response. It looks a bit like this (but more complex):

public record Enums(
  List<YesNo> yesNo, 
  List<RedBlue> redBlue, 
  List<UpDown> upDown, ...) {
}

For many of these enums, OpenAPI’s default definition is fine (serialize using Enum.name()). However, for a handful of these enums, I’d like to customize serialization, and have the OpenAPI yaml reflect that. I’m looking for some method to control the way E is serialized from Enums. Perhaps with an annotation like:

public record Enums(
  List<YesNo> yesNo, 
  List<RedBlue> redBlue, 
  List<@CustomizeSchemaOfValueInUpDownHere UpDown> upDown, ...) {
}

I currently have a copy of EnumJson as follows:

public record UpDownEnumJson<E extends Enum<E>>(@Schema(...) E value, String description) {
}

However, it feels like there must be a better alternative (especially because I require quite a number of these copies).
