Define enum constant body in JCodeModel

Question

I'd like to create the following Java source code using JCodeModel

public enum MyEnum {
    FIRST_CONSTANT {

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "first";
        }
    },
    SECOND_CONSTANT {

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "second";
        }
    };

    public abstract String toString();
}

But JEnumConstant does not expose methods to define the enum constant's body.

Is there a way to achieve this? Moreover I noticed that JCodeModel does not support certain JDK 7 oder JDK 8 features like try with resources. Is there an alternative source code generation utility?

Unfortunately, you are correct. the Latest version of JCodeModel (2.6) does not have the capabilities to generate enum constant methods.
