java - Can the Enum TimeUnit be passed as an argument to a method? -

is possible enum timeunit passed argument method? writing java method takes long duration argument , curious if there improve way it. basically, want pass method little bit clearer/explicit on duration trying pass it. don't want write own wrapper since sure exists out there, doesn't it?

so, this, doesn't work because unit doesn't store "state", it? :

void timedmethod( timeunit unit ) { long duration = 1000; long val = unit.tomillis(duration); }

yes of course. illustration 1 of signatures of future#get is:

public v get(long timeout, timeunit unit);

and implementation looks like:

long millis = unit.tomillis(timeout); //do number of milliseconds

so if phone call get(1, seconds), millis 1000.
