An enum switch case label must be the unqualified

Question

I have encountered an error while trying to execute "mvn prepare-package" for my project.

The console says

StageManager.java:[96,30] an enum switch case label must be the unqualified name of an enumeration constant

After some research on the internet, I found threads like these: Java: using switch statement with enum under subclass or Why can't an enum value be fully qualified in a switch statement? Which aren't useful for me, because I don't have the problems, which causes the exceptions in this examples. My Code looks like this:

StageManager (where the error occurs):

for (MessageType item : MessageType.values()) {
    switch (item) {
        case CSVImport:
            //Do some magic
            break;
        case EOWImport:         // <- Line 96 where the error occurse
            //Do some magic
            break;
    }
}

Parts of the Enum "MessageType":

CSVImport("CSV-Import", -1, Void.class),
EOWImport("EOW-Import", -2, Void.class),

private MessageType(final String description, final int id, final Class<?> klasse) {
    this.description = description;
    this.id = id;
    this.klasse = klasse;
}

And I don't understand, why I'm getting this error, because in my opinion, I'm doing it right.

But CSVImport is working, EOWImport doesn't, whats the different between them? — StefanPG, Apr 04 '18 at 08:30
Might be, the code is not the one being compiled. Because you get this error if having a qualified enum constant - like `MessageType.EOWImport`. This code looks fine. So, please, make an MCVE! — Seelenvirtuose, Apr 04 '18 at 08:32

SOLVED

Problem was, that I was using a loacal Version where the switch-case Statement was right, but mvn prepare-package was using an external version of the StageManager, where the siwtch-case was wrong, sorry to bother you
