I’m able to get the event type in the method via notification.getEventType() and print that to, say, System.out1, but this only gives me an int value. To be able to quickly implement the switch case for this event type, I thought it would be useful to have a list of event types and their corresponding int values. So here it is (one ordered alphabetically, and another one ordered by int value).
