The former is a keyword, the latter a class name.

Indeed,
Also if I'm not mistaken, "enum" was not a reserved keyword until Java 1.5.
I've worked with system that have code written in older version of Java, that uses 'enum' as a variable name everywhere. Bad idea as the moment you roll 1.5 in, the code doesn't compile due to the enum errors.
If you are updating/ writing code using older JRE, just don't do that.
