Hello. I was wondering if there is a better way to write the below
code. I have several enums, where each enum is for an option type and
each option has a short 1-3 letter string used when I need to identify
the option from a string. The code for each option type is identical
and I'd prefer to not repeat it over and over again.

static enum YesNoOption {
 YES("yes"), NO("no");
 private final String str;
 private YesNoOption(String str) { this.str = str; }
 public String getOptionString() { return str; }
 public static YesNoOption getOption(String str) {
   for(YesNoOption o: YesNoOption.values())
     if(o.str.equals(str))
       return o;
   return null;
 }
}

static enum ColorOption {
 BLUE("b"), RED("r"), GREEN("g"), MAGENTA("m"), YELLOW("y");
 private final String str;
 private ColorOption(String str) { this.str = str; }
 public String getOptionString() { return str; }
 public static ColorOption getOption(String str) {
   for(ColorOption o: ColorOption.values())
     if(o.str.equals(str))
       return o;
   return null;
 }
}

...

-------------

YesNoOption yesno = YesNoOption.getOption("no");
ColorOption color = ColorOption.getOption("g");

if(color == ColorOption.GREEN) {
 ...
}
