Some triks for Java enums.

Main.java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (final Mode mode : Mode.values()) {
            System.out.printf("%-16s { new: %5b, edit: %5b, confirm: %5b, yet another: %5b }\n",
                    mode.name(),
                    mode.isNew(),
                    mode.isEdit(),
                    mode.isConfirm(),
                    mode.isYetAnother());
        }
    }

    enum Mode {
        NEW_ONE,
        NEW_TWO,
        NEW_THREE,
        NEW_FOUR,
        EDIT_ONE,
        EDIT_TWO,
        EDIT_THREE,
        CONFIRM_ONE,
        CONFIRM_TWO,
        CONFIRM_THREE,
        YET_ANOTHER_MODE;

        public boolean isNew() {
            return this.oneOf(NEW_ONE,
                    NEW_TWO,
                    NEW_THREE,
                    NEW_FOUR);
        }

        public boolean isEdit() {
            return this.oneOf(EDIT_ONE,
                    EDIT_TWO,

        private boolean oneOf(final Mode... modes) {
            for (final Mode mode : modes) {
                if (this.equals(mode)) {
                    return true;
                }
            }

            return false;
        }
    }
}

OpenJDK 8:

NEW_ONE          { new:  true, edit: false, confirm: false, yet another: false }
NEW_TWO          { new:  true, edit: false, confirm: false, yet another: false }
NEW_THREE        { new:  true, edit: false, confirm: false, yet another: false }
NEW_FOUR         { new:  true, edit: false, confirm: false, yet another: false }
EDIT_ONE         { new: false, edit:  true, confirm: false, yet another: false }
EDIT_TWO         { new: false, edit:  true, confirm: false, yet another: false }
EDIT_THREE       { new: false, edit:  true, confirm: false, yet another: false }
CONFIRM_ONE      { new: false, edit: false, confirm:  true, yet another: false }
CONFIRM_TWO      { new: false, edit: false, confirm:  true, yet another: false }
CONFIRM_THREE    { new: false, edit: false, confirm:  true, yet another: false }
YET_ANOTHER_MODE { new: false, edit: false, confirm: false, yet another:  true }
