    The Answer to this question is yes, we can use enum in java with switch statement. the following examle shows how:

    1. enum Car{THAR,XUV,SCORPIO}
    2.  
    3. class Cars {
    4.  
    5.     Car car;
    6.  
    7.     Cars(Car car)
    8.     {
    9.         this.car= car;
    10.     }
    11.  
    12.     public void tellTheCarName()
    13.     {
    14.         switch(car)
    15.         {
    16.         case THAR:
    17.             System.out.println("the car is "+ car);
    18.             break;
    19.         case XUV:
    20.             System.out.println("the car is "+ car);
    21.             break;
    22.         case SCORPIO:
    23.             System.out.println("the car is "+ car);
    24.             break;
    25.  
    26.         }
    27.     }
    28.  
    29.     static public void main(String[] args) {
    30.         Cars c1=new Cars(Car.THAR);
    31.         c1.tellTheCarName();
    32.  
    33.         c1=new Cars(Car.SCORPIO);
    34.         c1.tellTheCarName();
    35.  
    36.         c1=new Cars(Car.XUV);
    37.         c1.tellTheCarName();
    38.    }
    39.  
    40. }

    The above code demos the use of switch and enums.
