Can Anyone tell me how can I use Enum instead of "START" and "STOP"? I tried to make Enum with string (START("START")), but it turned out too complex. Is there any easy way to do it. 

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        System.out.println(e.getActionCommand());
        if(e.getActionCommand() == "START") {
            this.sModel.paused = false;


        } else if(e.getActionCommand() == "STOP"){
            this.sModel.paused = true;

        }

Leaving aside the enum concern, why wouldn't you do something like that ?

private static final String STOP = "STOP";
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    this.sModel.paused = e.getActionCommand() == STOP;
}

Then, would it still makes sense to have an enum ?

I did as you mentioned initially, but I need to do it with Enum as a part of an assignment. – Rafael Dec 1 at 7:48
    
Here is what I did, but it made it more complex when I tried to use it instead of "STOP", "START" /// START ("START"), STOP ("STOP"); String button; Buttons (String bu) { button = bu; } public String getString () { return this.button; } – Rafael Dec 1 at 7:49
