Nice. I know there are still some discussions, but this is a good start  
for me.

I haven't been able to parse the following file based on the syntax as  
described in Chapter 19
https://github.com/kronar/qdox-bug/blob/master/src/main/java/EnumWithFields.java

The problem is with the argumentList of the enum.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-8.html#jls-EnumConstant  
is my starting point, but I can't find the way to a MethodInvocation,  
unless I'm missing something of course.

thanks,
Robert
