I presume Bob meant "rather than an actual *enumeration*" above and that
would be my suggestion as well -- use a Class with an <<Enumeration>>
stereotype.  The two figures in the article are inconsistent in that one
uses <<Enumeration>> and the other uses <<enumeration>>, but even with the
<<enumeration>> version is impossible to tell visually whether it's what UML
calls a "keyword" or a real stereotype (something I consider to be a flaw in
the way UML has specified this).

It seems that using a Class with an <<Enumeration>> stereotype is actually
fairly common.  The other reason this gets used is that a UML Enumeration
element does not have rich enough semantics to model the semantics of a Java
enum.
