Java Enum as generic type in Enum

In your method implementation PerspectiveCommands is not the enum but your type parameter, which often is called T. It thus shadows the enum of the same name like axtavt already said, thus PERSPECTIVE is unknown here.

Your abstract method declaration is fine but you might use a slightly different approach.

public void test(PerspectiveCommands command) would not work, since this method would not override the generic version. The reason is that with the generic version the type is inferred from the parameter and thus you could pass any enum.

However, I assume you have an interface or abstract class which defines the abstract method. So try something like this:

interface TestInterface<T extends Enum<T>>
{
  public abstract void test(T command);
}

class TestImpl implements TestInterface<PerspectiveCommands>
{
  @Override
  public void test(PerspectiveCommands command) {
    if(command == PerspectiveCommands.PERSPECTIVE){
        //do something
    }
  }
}
