+/**
+ * An object that implements the Enumeration interface generates a
+ * series of elements, one at a time. Successive calls to the
+ * {@code nextElement} method return successive elements of the
+ * series.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, to print all elements of a {@code Vector<E>} <i>v</i>:
+ * <pre>
+ *   for (Enumeration&lt;E&gt; e = v.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();)
+ *       System.out.println(e.nextElement());</pre>
+ * <p>
+ * Methods are provided to enumerate through the elements of a
+ * vector, the keys of a hashtable, and the values in a hashtable.
+ * Enumerations are also used to specify the input streams to a
+ * {@code SequenceInputStream}.
+ *
+ * @apiNote
+ * The functionality of this interface is duplicated by the {@link Iterator}
+ * interface.  In addition, {@code Iterator} adds an optional remove operation,
+ * and has shorter method names.  New implementations should consider using
+ * {@code Iterator} in preference to {@code Enumeration}. It is possible to
+ * adapt an {@code Enumeration} to an {@code Iterator} by using the
+ * {@link #asIterator} method.
+ *
+ * @see     java.util.Iterator

+     * @apiNote
+     * This method is intended to help adapt code that produces
+     * {@code Enumeration} instances to code that consumes {@code Iterator}
+     * instances. For example, the {@link java.util.jar.JarFile#entries
+     * JarFile.entries()} method returns an {@code Enumeration<JarEntry>}.
+     * This can be turned into an {@code Iterator}, and then the
+     * {@code forEachRemaining()} method can be used:
+     *
+     * <pre>{@code
+     *     JarFile jarFile = ... ;
+     *     jarFile.entries().asIterator().forEachRemaining(entry -> { ... });
+     * }</pre>
+     *
+     * (Note that there is also a {@link java.util.jar.JarFile#stream
+     * JarFile.stream()} method that returns a {@code Stream} of entries,
+     * which may be more convenient in some cases.)
+     *
+     * @implSpec
+     * The default implementation returns an {@code Iterator} whose
+     * {@link Iterator#hasNext hasNext} method calls this Enumeration's
+     * {@code hasMoreElements} method, whose {@link Iterator#next next}
+     * method calls this Enumeration's {@code nextElement} method, and
+     * whose {@link Iterator#remove remove} method throws
+     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
+     *
+     * @return an Iterator representing the remaining elements of this Enumeration
+     *
