RC A release candidate, commonly used to find and fix any lasting bugs Release candidates are usually stable, and are released for testing.
SNAPSHOT A snapshot, commonly referred to as a nightly build These builds are usually unstable and may not actually build/compile.
STABLE A stable release, also known as "Gold" There's nothing else to say.

Method Detail

values

public static VersionType[] values()

for (VersionType c : VersionType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
