You could write the ordinal or the name instead.

You need a dummy class on the other end with the same name as the enum
or the enum constant (if you added custom methods to it) that will
behave sufficiently like an enum. Then it would not need custom
serialisation.


You could decompile the enum code to get you a first shot at such
code. The enums in 1.4 still won't work in case labels.
