Inner Java Enum as value class in EntityModeler

Hi,

This issue was already discussed once but I can't really find if it was fixed somehow and I'm missing the obvious.

I'm trying more and more to force myself to use Java Enums whenever possible (instead of static fields) and often I find myself in need to serialize them to db for storage.

So I write nice to/from PLIST/BLOB factory and conversion methods to dump my Enums into whatever storage I'm using. This unfortunately requires me to fill in Entity Modeler's 'Value Class' field using an inner class (actually it's an inner Enum).

I can't use the Class.InnerClass notation. It only works with the Class $InnerClass notation. The problem is that the template then will also pickup the $ thing and wrongly write bugged templates that I have to manually fix.

It's only a matter of searching all the '$' and replacing them with a '.', but it can be tedious when you are tweaking the model often.

Is there a way to use an inner class without having to manually patch the generated templates?
