Easy solution (even though it still appears the old way is legal code): move the initializer code into a static method. Instead of:

private static Map byDBValue;

private AssetImporterTypeEnum(String dbvalue) {
this.dbValue = dbvalue;

if (AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue == null) {
AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue = new HashMap();
}

AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue.put(dbvalue, this);
}

We have something more along the lines of:

private static Map byDBValue;

private AssetImporterTypeEnum(String dbvalue) {
this.dbValue = dbvalue;

AssetImporterTypeEnum.init(dbvalue,this);
}

private static void init(String dbvalue, AssetImporterTypeEnum i) {
if (AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue == null) {
AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue = new HashMap();
}

AssetImporterTypeEnum.byDBValue.put(dbvalue, i);
}

The errors magically disappear.

Now, I just hope the code works properly….
