Summary: enums and automatic file naming

Initial Comment:
Story:
A user creates a new file, and types the following
simple code into the definitions pane:

public enum MyEnum {
..first, second, third
}

The user then choose the save command, and the file
chooser appears with the name MyEnum already in the
"File Name" field, as DrJava has inferred from the enum
declaration that this filename is required for the file.

I would say the simplest way to do this is to extend
the "getFirstTopLevelClassname" logic in
DefinitionsDocument, though this would have the
disadvantage of ambiguating enum and regular class
definitions.  (Though, that might not really be a
disadvantage, as enums are actually classes...)

As a note, the current logic for inferring filename
from class declarations does not care about
public/non-public classes, so it's probably not very
important for enums either -- see feature request
#981571, which applies equally to enums as regular classes.
