cannot cleanly override enum deserializer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There's a constructor for Gson that accepts a list of serializers/deserializers 
for default types.  I can't seem to figure out a way to override Enum without 
copy/pasting the 900 line DefaultTypeAdapters class and changing it, as all of 
the default serializers are marked private in a package private class.  Any 
ideas on a cleaner way?

here's a way I've found:

open up the package (com.google.gson) and add the type hierarchy you want with 
the package private registerTypeHierarchyAdapter method.

package com.google.gson;

public class JcloudsGsonPackageAccessor {
   public static GsonBuilder registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(GsonBuilder builder, Class<?> baseType, Object typeAdapter) {
      return builder.registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(baseType, typeAdapter);
   }
}

...

      JcloudsGsonPackageAccessor.registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(builder, Enum.class, new MyEnumTypeAdapter());
