[adalbertwysocki]

The Enum class is not found when the Enum object is defined as an inner object:

package test

object Definitions {

object PartyTypes extends Enumeration {
    case class PartyTypes(value: String) extends Val(value)
    val Party = PartyTypes("Foo")
    val Individual = PartyTypes("Bar")
}

class TestBaseEntity extends Entity

abstract class NamedEntity(theName: String) extends TestBaseEntity { val name: String = theName }

case class Party(override val name: String, @Alias("party_type") var partyType : PartyTypes.PartyTypes) extends NamedEntity(name)

}
