I was wondering if it would be possible to make an enum not have properties on a module but have them on another (I am using Gradle but should be the same on Maven). This is an example of what I mean:

“api” module: MyEnum.ELEMENT_1. In this case, MyEnum.ELEMENT_1 shouldn’t have any property or method. However:
“main” module: MyEnum.ELEMENT_1.getData() In this module, every property and method can be accessed.

Basically, I would like my “api” module’s MyEnum to look like this:

public enum MyEnum {
    ELEMENT_1,
    ELEMENT_2
}

while my “main” module’s MyEnum looks something like this but is compatible with the “api” module’s MyEnum:

public enum MyEnum {
    ELEMENT_1(...),
    ELEMENT_2(...)

    private final Data data;

    MyEnum(Data data) {
        this.data = data;
    }

    public Data getData() {
        return this.data;
    }
}

How can I achieve this? “api” would be the exposed part of the library and I don’t want devs having access to the enum’s methods.
