public class NamedObject
extends BaseObject
NamedObject is a simple extension to BaseObject, it has a user-supplied name. That name will appear whenever the object is printed, so you'll see # instead of # You will thank yourself if you use static variables derived from NamedObject instead of integers as "Enum" replacements

for example: 

 	class Cases extends NamedObject
 	{ public static final NormalCase = new Cases("normal");
 	  public static final Othercase = new Cases("unusual");
 	  public Cases(String name) { super(name); }
 	}

then, in your code 
 	class Foo implements Cases
 	{
 	 public test(Cases thiscase)
 	 { if(thiscase == NormalCase) return(true) else return(false);
 	 }
 	}

the only downside of this is that you can't use "switch" statements on Cases
