[SNMP4J] Address type and parse method

[Marco.Bresciani at alcatel.it]

Thank you,
  why not something like

enum Type { UDP, TCP, IP };

so that it'll begin the step toJava 5?! ;-)

Hello Marco,

Good point. In version 1.8 the following constants will be part
of GenericAddress:

   /**
    * Default address type identifier for an UpdAddress.
    */
   public static final String TYPE_UDP = "udp";
   /**
    * Default address type identifier for a TcpAddress.
    */
   public static final String TYPE_TCP = "tcp";
   /**
    * Default address type identifier for an IpAddress.
    */
   public static final String TYPE_IP  = "ip";

Best regards,
Frank
