Is there a Java convention for packaging enums? if not is there a best practice? Should I put them all in one package "myapp.enum" or should I put each enum in its related package?

enums in Java should be treated like any other class, and should probably be placed in the package that's most related to them. There's no advantage in having a separate "enums" package.
