  Haha, yes !
This fixes it. I still gets 3 warnings but not a blocker :-)

  Right :-)
If I understand correctly enum was added in Java 1.5, if I ask about
the version I get 
laptop:~/libvirt-java/src -> /usr/bin/javac -version
Eclipse Java Compiler 0.771, 3.3.0, Copyright IBM Corp 2000, 2007. All rights reserved.

  Maybe the most portable way to fix this is to force that version flag
when javac is the Eclipse compiler.

  I think I will augment the checkings done in configure.in accordingly

   thanks !
