[SNMP4J] Address type and parse method

[Rory Marquis]

This is how I have set up my SNMP Manager application, using enum.

/**
     * Enums for the Transfer Protocol.
     * Contains a text value of itself so that the value can change
     * and the enum can stay the same.
     */
    public enum Protocol {
        UDP("udp"), TCP("tcp");
        private final String text;

        /**
         * Creates a new Protocol enum
         * @param sendType is currently the int enum from the PDU
         */
        Protocol(String newText) {
            text = newText;
        }

        /**
         * Gets the SNMP4J PDU type for an enum
         * @return String representing the text value of this enum
         */
        public String getText() {
            return text;
        }

    }


Is there an SNMP4J official Java 5 release yet?
