Hi Jason,
I'm not sure why this is the case, but if its really an issue, I think
you could modify the generated src or modify your index to start at
one.

 static final int INT_FOO = 1;
 static final int INT_BAZ = 2;

I've attached an example src file in case you wanted to peek at it.
I've never needed an Enum value to have a int val beginning at zero

switch(enumVal)
      case Enum.INT_FOO:
         doSomething();
         break;
     // ....

And so using this code, I do not need the enumeration value to be a
specific int. This also makes the code a little easier to read as
well.

Hope this helps,
-Jacob Danner
